| Question: What do Henry VII’s tapestries at Hampton Court Palace, Athabaskan quillwork traded by the Hudson Bay company, Flora MacDonald’s wedding tartan, a Rembrandt painting, a purple Victorian silk boddice and a German catalogue of early synthetic textile dyestuffs have in common? Answer: They are all historical objects which have been analysed by the Hulme group. In doing so, we have answered important questions about where and how these objects were made, and how we can look after them for future generations. But to do so, we have had to develop new techniques for their analysis, transferring methods from other disciplines to the field of heritage science and overcoming the unique challenges associated with analysing such precious objects. This is chemistry in a real-world context as you have never seen it before. | Question: What do Henry VII’s tapestries at Hampton Court Palace, Athabaskan quillwork traded by the Hudson Bay company, Flora MacDonald’s wedding tartan, a Rembrandt painting, a purple Victorian silk boddice and a German catalogue of early synthetic textile dyestuffs have in common?

| Feb | 06 | New possibilities in nitrides by exploiting porosity | 6 p.m. | Prof. Rachel Oliver | Wolfson lecture theatre |

Time: 6 p.m. Speaker: Prof. Rachel Oliver Location: Wolfson lecture theatre |
|||||||||||
| Abstract: Porous semiconducting nitrides are effectively a new class of semiconducting material, with properties distinct from the monolithic nitride layers from which devices from light emitting diodes (LEDs) to high electron mobility transistors are increasingly made. The introduction of porosity provides new opportunities to engineer a range of properties including refractive index, thermal and electrical conductivity, stiffness and piezoelectricity. Quantum structures may be created within porous architectures and novel composites may be created via the infiltration of other materials into porous nitride frameworks. A key example of the application of porous nitrides in photonics is the fabrication of high reflectivity distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) from alternating layers of porous and non-porous GaN. These reflectors are fabricated from epitaxial structures consisting of alternating doped and undoped layers, in which only the conductive, doped layers are electrochemically etched. Conventionally, trenches are formed using a dry-etching process, penetrating through the multilayer, and the electrochemical etch then proceeds laterally from the trench sidewalls. The need for these trenches then limits the device designs and manufacturing processes within which the resulting reflectors can be used. We have developed a novel alternative etching process, which removes the requirement for the dry-etched trenches, with etching proceeding vertically from the top surface through channels formed at naturally-occurring defects in the crystal structure of GaN. This etch process leaves an undoped top surface layer almost unaltered and suitable for further epitaxy. This new defect-based etching process provides great flexibility for the creation of a variety of sub-surface porous architectures on top of which a range of devices may be grown. Whilst DBR structures enable improved light extraction from LEDs and the formation of resonant cavities for lasers and single photon sources, recent development also suggest that thick, subs-surface porous layers may enable strain relaxation to help improve the efficiency of red microLEDs for augmented reality displays. Meanwhile, the option of filling pores in nitride layers with other materials provides new opportunities for the integration of nitrides with emerging photonic materials, such as the hybrid-perovskite semiconductors, with perovskites encapsulated in porous nitride layers demonstrating greatly improved robustness against environmental degradation. | Abstract: Porous semiconducting nitrides are effectively a new class of semiconducting material, with properties distinct from the monolithic nitride layers from which devices from light emitting diodes (LEDs) to high electron mobility transistors are increasingly made.

| Abstract: According to existing histories, theory drove chemistry's remarkable nineteenth-century development. This talk shows instead how novel experimental approaches combined with what I’ve called “laboratory reasoning” enabled chemists to bridge wet chemistry and abstract concepts and, in so doing, create the molecular world. Based on a series of new practice-based breakthroughs – including the “glassware revolution”, the “turn to synthesis”, and the “chemical identity crisis” – this historical reassessment reveals organic synthesis as the ground chemists stood upon to forge a new relationship between experiment and theory—with far-reaching consequences for chemistry as a discipline. | Abstract: According to existing histories, theory drove chemistry's remarkable nineteenth-century development.

| Super exciting talk planned for next week, we will be hosting Sir Shankar Balasubramanian, winner of the Millenium technology prize and cofounder of Solexa! Abstract: DNA is a linear molecule made up of four building blocks, often abbreviated to the letters G, C, T and A. The sequence of these four letters constitutes a code that comprises 3.2 billion letters in a copy of the human genome. The International Human Genome Project used an approach developed by Fred Sanger to generate the first human genome reference in a global collaboration that spanned a decade. Over 20 years ago, during the course of some basic scientific experiments, a collaboration with David Klenerman and our co-workers, unexpectedly led us to conceive and then pursue a different way of sequencing DNA. The initial experiments ultimately led to a rapid, low-cost sequencing approach, which was developed and commercialised through a company we co-founded, called Solexa. Today the technique is able to sequence human, and other, genomes at a cost and speed that shows over a million-fold improvement compared to when we began the project in 1997. I will also discuss the impact of the technology on life sciences, medicine and society along with a vision of what the future holds. | Super exciting talk planned for next week, we will be hosting Sir Shankar Balasubramanian, winner of the Millenium technology prize and cofounder of Solexa!
