Incorporation of non-stoichiometry crucial to battery and fusion reactor breeder material

14 February 2014

A collaboration between Samuel Murphy, at Imperial College London, and Winton Advanced Research Fellow Nicholas Hine, at the Cavendish Laboratory, has investigated the properties of defects in Lithium Metatitanate, Li 2 TiO 3 . Li 2 TiO 3 has several promising applications relating to energy materials, including as a...

Manipulation of Quantum Entangled Triplet Pairs

7 January 2021

Researchers have uncovered a new technique to create and manipulate pairs of particle-like excitations in organic semiconductors that carry non-classical spin information across space, much like the entangled photon pairs in the famous Einstein-Podolsky-Roden “paradox”.

Machine learning algorithm helps in the search for new drugs

20 March 2019

Researchers have designed a machine learning algorithm for drug discovery which has been shown to be twice as efficient as the industry standard.
