Since its discovery in 2004, scientists have believed that graphene may have the innate ability to superconduct. Now Cambridge researchers have found a way to activate that previously dormant potential. Researchers have found a way to trigger the innate, but previously hidden, ability of graphene to act as a superconductor...

Energy@Cambridge organised for a number of Shell funded PhD students and early career researchers to present their research in five minutes. The session was chaired by Prof Lindsay Greer, Head...

A new design for transistors which operate on ‘scavenged’ energy from their environment could form the basis for devices which function for months or years without a battery, and could be used for wearable or implantable electronics. Using a similar principle to a computer in sleep mode, the new transistor harnesses a tiny...
