What will the materials powering tomorrow's clean energy systems, quantum computers, and deep-space missions actually be made of — and how do we design them? We are thrilled to share our latest featured article in The European magazine, where we explore how cutting-edge research is engineering matter at the atomic scale. From the nanolaminated MAX … Continue reading Atom-by-atom materials shaping future technology
We are pleased to share our latest research, now published in Applied Surface Science. This study led by Ahmad Alem explores the use of radio frequency (RF) oxygen plasma as a powerful tool for functionalising the surface of carbon felts – materials with significant potential in energy storage, catalysis, and environmental technologies. By systematically varying … Continue reading Paving the Way for Hydrogen Energy with Carbon Felts
Our latest study just dropped as a preprint on the SSRN server: Is Nitrogen Doping of Diamond-Like Carbon Films a Viable Strategy for Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells? 💡 In this work, we challenge the idea that nitrogen doping improves Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings. Using a combination of electrochemical testing, electron microscopy, … Continue reading Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells
