Congratulations to PGR Ben Hogan, who has just published a paper on ‘2D WS2 liquid crystals: tunable functionality enabling diverse applications’ in Nanoscale. Ben says of his paper: This paper describes the first observation of a liquid crystal phase for dispersions of two-dimensional tungsten disulfide particles in organic solvents. We detail the synthesis methods used […]

New Publication: Multi-layer graphene as a selective detector for future lung cancer biosensing platforms
Congratulations to XM² PGR Ben Hogan (4th year) who has co-authored a recently published paper on ‘Multi-layer graphene as a selective detector for future lung cancer biosensing platforms’ in the journal Nanoscale. Lung cancer is one of the most common and aggressive cancers, with mortality rates of about 1.4 million per year, worldwide. The lack […]
New Publication: Metamaterial-enhanced infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy
Congratulations to XM² PGR Cheng Shi (4th year) whose paper Metamaterial-enhanced infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy has been accepted by Nanoscale and is due to be published next month. Abstract below. Abstract The use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) allows solid or liquid samples to be characterised directly without specific […]
