Exciting moments on the edge – unique properties confirmed in phosphorene nanoribbons
An international research collaboration, including The University of Warwick, The University of Cambridge and UCL, has demonstrated that ‘wonder material’ phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit both magnetic and electronic properties at room temperature, establishing them as a unique class of low-dimensional materials.
The power of confinement: How tiny nanotubes can squeeze new materials into being
An international research project, led by The University of Warwick and University of Lille, has used nanotube compression to transform the underlying chemistry and physics of a compound, creating a promising new one-dimensional material.
Warwick to benefit from £2.5 million funding into “phenomenal” metamaterials
A £2.5m grant will enable a new network driving research into metamaterials, headed up by a researcher from the University of Warwick.
Ceramic industry should bring carbon reducing cold sintering process out of labs and into manufacturing says new research
A new techno-economic analysis, by a team led by a researcher from WMG at the University of Warwick, shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental benefits if it moved to free the cold sintering process from languishing in labs to actual use in manufacturing everything from high tech to domestic ceramics.
Smarter, greener, cleaner steel: £35 million boost for research to transform UK steel industry
A smart, green and clean steel industry will come a giant step closer thanks to a new £35 million research network, announced today, which will see steelmakers and University experts work together on a seven-year research programme to transform the UK steel sector.
Bacteria-fighting polymers created with light
Hundreds of polymers – which could kill drug-resistant superbugs in novel ways – can be produced and tested using light, using a method developed at the University of Warwick
