The importance of innovation in the way that energy is currently supplied is crucial given the finite resources and the impact of their use on the global environment in the form of climate change. Optimising the current energy supply and energy demand patterns or developing new conventional and renewable energy technologies to meet the ever increasing global demand for energy will require ground-breaking advances in research, for example, to increase energy efficiency or enable the uptake of renewable energy in the market.

Welcome to the nano scale. Nanoscale is where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. The strange world of nanoscience can take you into atoms and beyond the stars.
Instead of silicon-based chips, the computer memory of the future may be nano-structured glass developed by researchers at the University of Southampton. The researchers said the potential new memory, which promises to be cheaper, may also have possible applications in optical manipulation as well as medical imaging. “The advantage of this approach over existing methods for microscopy is that it …
