We welcome a new student to the MML group.Julie Elman is a French undergraduate student who joins our group for an internship this summer under the supervision of Alan Windle. She studies materials science in an engineering university called INSA de Lyon.  She will study the effect of impurities in carbon nanotubes.

Takehiro Kojima (PhD student of JAE) submits his corrected thesis and obtains PhD degree.celebrating with a beer in the glass given to him by group as a leaving present. We wish Takehiro well with his continuing position as engineer at Canon, Japan.

For almost 4 weeks in January I had the opportunity to work as a visiting scientist at both universities of Singapore, NUS and NTU, on 6 projects in total. Great science...... partly testing our fibres with their equipment, partly transferring our knowledge about the CNT fibre spinning process over there. Beautiful places both universities, and wel…

We hope everyone had a great holiday and will have a great 2014. We would like to welcome two new members to the MML group: Anastasiia and Nicola.Dr Anastasiia Mikhalchan is from Russia and joins our group as a Marie Curie Experienced Researcher within EU Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways Scheme (IAPP). She has a background in…

On October 30 2013, His Royal Highness The Duke of York visited the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy; it was also the first the first time our carbon nanotube spinning rig ran in its new home in West Cambridge.His Royal Highness The Duke of York, was accompanied by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire and members of his office, …

Our carbon nanotube fibre rig is finally in West CambridgeA team from Alheavy Removals Ltd has safely transported our carbon nanotube fibre spinning rig from the New Museums Site to our new building in West Cambridge. Now it's finally time to reassemble everything and getting it running again.

Liquid Infiltration into Carbon Nanotube Fibers: Effect on Structure and Electrical PropertiesA paper by Jing Qiu, Jerónimo Terrones, Juan José Vilatela, Mary Vickers, James Elliott, and Alan Windle has been recently published in ACS Nano.Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers consist of a network of highly oriented carbon nanotube bundles. This pa…
