The origin of the field of nanotechnology to a famous lecture given by visionary physicist Richard Feynman back in 1959, entitled “There’s Plenty of Room At The Bottom,” – although at the time, the talk was considered speculative.

It is no longer hyperbole to describe what’s happening in the solar power industry as a revolution. It began with the price of solar cells falling through the floor – a remarkably sustained run of exponential price decline.

Graphene is a layer of carbon atoms, bound together in a simple hexagonal structure. Carbon was already well-known for forming a fascinating array of chemical bonds; allotropes and fullerenes including C-60 – ‘Bucky-balls’ – having already been synthesised.

This article discusses what wind farms are and the role they play as a renewable energy.

This article discusses the new trend of floating wind farms and whether or not they prove their worth

As our ability to micro- & nano-engineer circuitry gets ever more intricate, we will seek to produce machines that merge the best of technology & nature.

With excellent electronic properties, 2D materials can be highly conductive or have tuneable semiconductor bandgaps.

Biomimetics develops research and technology by drawing inspiration from nature. In this article we explore biomimetic sensors.
