In Sheffield, 9% efficient organic solar cells have been made using a new non-fullerene acceptor called ITIC, when blended with semiconducting polymers. GIWAXS measurements have...

Today, a number of technological devices, such as the readout sensor in the hard disc drive, have used the exchange bias (EB) effect, which arises in a...

There is significant renewed interest in the super-conductivity of hydrogen-rich materials ever since the reported superconductivity of H2S at 203 K . As a result there is...

The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate...

Materials adopting the apatite structure are gaining an increasing importance as potential solid-oxide fuel cell electrolytes and for the chemical stabilisation of high level...

This study addresses the need to improve the reliability of measurements of weld residual stress; particularly for the type of welds used within the nuclear power industry. Such...

Near-equimolar multi-component alloys, known as high entropy alloys (HEAs), possess potential for the development of new functional micromaterials. HEAs can be stabilised by...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with potential uses in low power devices. Cu2OSeO3 is a cubic material containing both skyrmions and other spin...
