Research Interests and Areas General Theme: Molecular and Electrochemical Phenomena at Interfaces Interfacial phenomena crucial to materials, electrochemical and biological technologies are studied by a combination of theoretical and experimental techniques. Materials properties and behaviour at the molecular level can be modelled and quantified by statistical mechancis and computer simulations. Scanning probe microscopy (STM/AFM) allows nanometer scale observation of surface reactions in a liquid environment. Modern electrochemistry and materials instrumentation are also applied in various projects.

NanoScienceWorks.org looks at the dynamic area of nano-semoconductors, and how these tiny devices are fundamentally changing the worlds of computing and communications. We speak with the author of Nano-Semiconductor: Devices and Technology, Dr. Krzysztof Iniewski, who manages R&D developments at Redlen Technologies, Inc., a start-up firm in British Columbia, Canada. His research interests are in VLSI circuits for medical and security applications.
Researchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
