Throughout my academic career at Cambridge and my time in smart materials research, I have constantly found myself in awe of how much our entire modern computing infrastructure relies on the physical integrity of a single material. When we talk about silicon wafer composition, it is easy to get bogged down in abstract metrics like […]

When we look at a soaring aircraft or a satellite orbiting in the quiet vacuum of space, we naturally marvel at the macro-scale engineering. Yet, as someone who spent years investigating the atomic landscapes at Cambridge, I know that the true triumphs of modern aerospace occur at the nanoscale. Electronic casings are no longer just
