Let there be Light: Deterministic arrays of Quantum Emitters
21 May 2017
Large scale, fully integrable arrays of single photon quantum emitters are demonstrated in layered materials, which could lead to hybrid on-chip photonics devices for networks and sensing.
Congratulations to Prof. Ferrari, who has been announced as the recipient of the NANOSMAT Award 2017 for "outstanding" contributions to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Scalable 100% Yield Production of Conductive Graphene Inks
21 February 2017
Conductive inks based on graphene and layered materials are key for low-cost manufacturing of flexible electronics, novel energy solutions, composites and coatings. A new method for liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite paves the way for scalable production.
The Cambridge Graphene Centre is recognised as the heart of a rapidly developing graphene value chain in Charles Cotton and Kate Kirk’s book ‘The Cambridge Phenomenon: Global Impact."
Ultrahigh sensitivity graphene infrared detectors for imaging and spectroscopy
31 January 2017
Researchers at the Cambridge Graphene Centre, in a collaboration including Emberion, have developed a novel graphene-based infrared (IR) detector with record high sensitivity for thermal detection. This result paves the way for high-performance IR imaging and spectroscopy.
Scientists have believed that graphene may have the innate ability to superconduct since graphene was isolated in 2004. Now Cambridge researchers have found a way to activate that previously dormant potential.
Image caption: CGC alumni clockwise from top left: Ellen Smith, Anna Ott, Silvia Milana, Flavia Tomarchio The mission of the Cambridge Graphene Centre is to investigate the science and technology of graphene, carbon allotropes, layered crystals and hybrid nanomaterials. Throughout its first decade as a locus for pioneering...
New rocket and lunar experiments involving graphene are informing space exploration. Applying graphene to the wheels of the Rashid moon rover will reveal whether this super strong material is also ‘Moon-proof’. Meanwhile, testing graphene-inks in a sounding rocket will test their ability to enable 3D printing in space –...
The European Innovation Council (EIC) has awarded the first Transition Grant to the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. The project CHARM —chemometric histopathology via coherent Raman imaging for precision medicine— has received over €3.2 million to develop new medical imaging technologies . EIC...
