Layered Material Heterostructures
Heterostructures combining multiple 2D materials are key to exploiting the promise of these novel materials in technological devices. New work involving investigators from the Department of Physics (Hine & Wilson) has investigated the unusual electronic structure effects at the interfaces formed when different transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials such as MoSe2 and WSe2 are combined.

An improved Bayesian algorithm for modelling time series with long memory and heavy tails
From finance to solar flares, time series whose statistics show long memory and heavy tails are commonplace. We present a more accurate way to measure the memory and estimate the risk of extremes.
Molecules 10,000 times narrower than the width of a human hair could hold the key to making possible wooden skyscrapers and more energy-efficient paper production, according to research published in the journal Nature Communications.
