This series explores what constitutes a ‘good’ policy, conditioned not only by technology and financial factors but also by social norms and values, institutions, geopolitics, public trust and history. 

Each seminar will address a case ranging from pipelines and nuclear energy to environmental regulation and market design.

A part of the In Search of 'Good' Energy Policy - Energy@Cambridge Grand Challenge

We have to make the solar work because it is the only abundant source of energy. Producing a coating that can seat on top of a standard silicon solar cell to increase the efficiency of solar energy could significantly improve solar technology.

If we designed concrete structures to look after themselves, they could last longer, use far less concrete and be cost-efficient while reducing carbon emission and environmental damage. The answer and the promise lie in self-healing materials, says Abir Al Tabbaa.

The widespread adoption of super conductors is crucial for a carbon reduced future. How do we accelerate this process? Suchitra Sebastian illustrates the scientific challenges and opportunities of these complex quantum objects.

In the future carbon footprint reduction could be achieved by harnessing the power of the Internet of Things: Markus Kraft illustrates the first version of a network of virtual avatars used in an industrial park in Singapore.

Working on quantum materials and carrying out fundamental research on these materials, Dr. Suchitra Sebastian discusses the exciting properties of superconductors - transporting electricity with no energy loss and hence hold great promise for energy saving applications.

Cambridge is also one of the leading centres in graphene technology. Dr Krzysztof Koziol from the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy sits on the management board of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Graphene Technology. He is developing hybrid electrical wires made from copper and graphene in order to improve the amount of electric current they can carry, functional graphene heaters, anti-corrosion coatings, and graphene inks which can be used to draw printed circuit boards directly onto paper and other surfaces.

Professor Colin Humphreys was invited to speak at Portcullis House to politicians and others in British Science Week. Professor Humphreys discussed how gallium nitride and its alloys are key materials which could reduce 25% electricity used and 25% carbon emissions from power stations.

Being able to identify and repair faults or defects early on has clear social and environmental benefits as well as reducing costs for manufacturers and improving the services businesses can provide to their customers. We are interested, therefore, in how new sensors and smart surfaces can be designed and deployed to extend the operating life of machinery and manufactured products.

Atomic-level engineering is at the forefront of modern, greener jet engine design. The increasing demand for more people to fly while reducing carbon emissions is one of the greatest aeronautical engineering challenges.

Research at the Cambridge Rolls-Royce UTC, investigates how atomic arrangements in metals influence their properties and performance. By engineering the position, size and type of atoms in metal alloys, we can radically change their capabilities
