Graphene NOWNANO PhD – A view from the halfway point
Research 10 February 2016
An interview with Philip Thomas, a PhD student enrolled in the Graphene NOWNANO CDT programme. In layman’s terms, how does your work relate to Graphene? The fundamentals of graphene, in terms of the physics, are generally understood. There are all kinds of other 2D materials that we’re discovering; recently phosphorene has attracted a lot of […]
Building a graphene archive
Applications 21 July 2015
The University of Manchester Library is playing a key role in supporting graphene research and in ensuring that Manchester’s unique contributions to the development of graphene are recorded and preserved for posterity. Since we launched a pilot project two years ago, our graphene-related activities have expanded dramatically, and we believe that we are making a […]
