Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C, limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult. To make graphene production more practical, a recent study has overcome this long-standing temperature barrier. In a study published in the Journal of the
The four projects, funded by the Leverhulme Trust and Wellcome , span all areas of the University and cover topics ranging from healthcare and artificial intelligence to waste management, pollution and sustainable technology. Funded by the Leverhulme Trust, the first of these DTPS will train the next generation of researchers to tackle the global waste crisis through interdisciplinary research and

Machine learning doesn’t replace human intelligence, but it can outlast human endurance, which makes it a very helpful tool for chemistry and material discovery. Scientists know the machine learning models can make predictions based on the vast reams of data it is trained on, but can it take it a step further and massively scale up testing out those predictions? “We already see that AI is powerful

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is widely regarded as a promising clean energy source. By weight, it stores nearly three times more energy than gasoline, and its use does not directly release carbon dioxide (CO₂). Yet most H₂ is still produced from fossil fuels through CO₂-intensive processes. Storing and transporting this energy-rich gas are also costly and technically challenging. Therefore, developing sustai
Ammonia is a cornerstone of global agriculture and a promising carrier for renewable energy storage. Yet nearly all of it is still produced via the Haber‑Bosch process, which operates above 400 °C and 200 atm, consumes about two percent of global energy, and emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. That is why finding a greener route under mild conditions has become a major challenge in chemistry an
