There will be a general election in the UK this year, and it is not impossible (to say the least) that the Labour opposition will form the next government. What might such a government’s policies imply for science and innovation policy? There are some important clues in a recent, lengthy speech – the 2024 Mais … Continue reading "Implications of Rachel Reeves’s Mais Lecture for Science & Innovation Policy"
Here is one of the foundational papers for the modern world – in effect, reporting the invention of optical fibres. Without optical fibres, there would be no internet, no on-demand video – and no globalisation, in the form we know it, with the highly dispersed supply chains that cheap and reliable information transmission between nations … Continue reading "Optical fibres and the paradox of innovation"
The SupraLife Second School took place from 10 – 15 March 2024 at the University of Aveiro in Portugal. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, Materials Advances and Biomaterials Science were pleased to sponsor three poster prizes at the event. Congratulations to our poster prize winners! 1st place: Catherine Abild Meyer (Aarhus University, Denmark) Poster title: ‘On the communication […]
Carbon nanotubes can glow brilliantly when light is absorbed by a flat sheet of atoms acting as an antenna to direct that energy into the tubes.
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to quantum dots—objects so small that they are governed by the odd and intricate principles of quantum physics
We are delighted to announce an open call for papers to our new themed collection on Mechanical-induced catalysis and catalysts advances, to be published in Materials Advances. Mechanical-induced catalysis is gaining increasing attention with its potential to broaden the scope of new catalyst materials, leading to its increasingly widespread use for materials development and […]
