SURFACE SCIENCE
Our Work
We have several projects exploring science at surfaces, in particular studying films, particulates, and surface interactions.
Explore our research summaries to find out about a variety of exciting projects, ranging from improving battery performance and synthesising new catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction, to studying blood drying for new diagnostic methods, and preventing your granny catching on fire by improving the formulation of emollient creams!
