Graphene’s flat, homogeneous surface can encourage the growth of large organic semiconducting crystals without relying on epitaxy: a promising development for its application as an electrode material.

The solar wind flows away from the Sun, depositing energy into the magnetosphere as it reaches Earth. Here we explore various ways of quantifying this energy and its variation over the last 20 years.

We are pleased to announce that our Juno Champion status has been successfully renewed by the Institute of Physics. The award is in recognition for the department's efforts to promote gender equality amongst both staff and students, and for good working practices.

Ring polymers interpenetrate and “pin” one-another’s motion. To what extent do concentrated solutions, or melts, of ring polymers thread through one another at equilibrium? An analogous system is a well-shaken bucket full of very long rubber bands. If one attempts to withdraw a single rubber band it is very likely that a large tangle of interpenetrating rubber bands will instead emerge. This is to be contrasted with an attempt to withdraw a single strand from a bowl of freshly cooked spagetti, analogous to a system of linear polymers.
