Photo induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) combines the analytical power of infrared vibrational spectroscopy with the spatially resolved nano-topographical information of atomic force microscopy (AFM) creating an extraordinarily powerful technique for…
The ability to simultaneously image physical and chemical changes inside of polymers in real time during catalytic polymerization would be far-reaching. It would enable not only understanding of dynamic chemical and…
PiFM shows itself as a powerful technique to provide visual and spectroscopical data of materials in nano-scale: from silica nano-spheres to the complex biomineralization of clams. The talk aims to…
Use of plastic has increased 20-fold during the last 50 years, and at the same time only 14% of all plastic is currently recycled. This has led to a worldwide…
Sustainable chemicals production and renewable feedstocks development are key components to mediating negative impacts of fossil fuels and related chemicals on the biosphere. Our research is focussed on green catalysis…
An EPSRC-funded Postdoctoral Research Associate position with Prof Nikolas Kaltsoyannis is available for 36 months from 1/2/24, and will involve the computational quantum chemical study of bimetallic homogeneous catalysts for…
Lindemann Fellowships, each worth $130,000, are designed as an early post-doctoral opportunity, and are awarded to graduates of exceptional promise in both the pure and applied physical sciences, who have…
The presence of active sites in porous materials can control and affect significantly their performance in adsorption and catalysis. However, fine tuning of the active sites and elucidation of their…
In this talk we will discuss the relevance of published data in the development of new tools which can speed up processing and analysis. We will also explain the importance…
The combination of electrochemical methods with molecular spectroscopy can provide valuable information about chemical processes at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. In particular, Raman and infrared spectroscopies have been shown to yield unique…
