[Raj Pandya @raj_pandya93]

Great to see this out in @Nature today! We show that phosphorene nanoribbons can display both magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature. Amazing effort with @arjun_ashoka @Chrishowz @ChemistClancy @Naitik_Panjwani https://t.co/iDZvroDY0l

[UCL Optical Tweezers @opticaltweezers]

Two PhD projects available for Oct 2025:
1. Optical trapping and spectroscopy of 2D nanomaterials in collaboration with Prof @Chrishowz
2. Using optical tweeers to probe mechanics of the basal membrane in collaboration with Prof Franck Pichaud @LMCB_UCL
Contact Phil for details

It’s our summer school! First task is @Chrishowz @ShellyStem @StephanieRibet sharing experiences relating to outreach and public engagement @imperialcollege @ImpMaterials @ucl @tcddublin @EPSRC @scienceirel

[Raj Pandya @raj_pandya93]

I have a PhD opening (Oct. 2024), with various projects in ultrafast spectroscopy & materials chemistry. If you want to play with lasers & exploring the quantum world/unique materials in a collaborative team - this is for you!  Please spread the word/RT!! https://t.co/0HxANyhYfG

[Chris Howard @Chrishowz]

Lots of exciting work to be done on nanoribbons with @ChemistClancy (and me and a superb group of collaborators). Please apply if interested or retweet

[Chris Howard @Chrishowz]

See more nanoribbon fun - ngl I really like nanoribbons especially with a such great team of collaborators/friends

[UCL News @uclnews]

In 2019, UCL researchers discovered phosphorus nanoribbons, predicted to transform electronics – now a team led by @ChemistClancy @UCLChemistry & @Chrishowz @uclmaps have alloyed this material with arsenic, adding conductivity to its remarkable properties https://t.co/HqECgoADs4

Please retweet!
I am recruiting three PDRAs (2 projects) at
@UCLChemistry. Selected by @ERC_Research, @EPSRC and Funded by @UKRI_News @EPSRC. Come to work with amazing researchers in the department and project partners, and make safer Zn-ion batteries! Closing date 25/July.

[Chris Howard @Chrishowz]

@MariosHadjimic1 @theofficetv @DwightSchrute_ Nice one! Huge congrats!

[Chris Howard @Chrishowz]

Start of what promises to be a super fun collaboration on Ca-ion batteries with @reckless_ions #propercoverart

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

Absolutely my favorite cover! Hand drawn by my brilliant friend Qianchen Li. Thank Materials Advances @RoySocChem for selecting our artwork. Collaboration between @UCLChemistry, @Chrishowz @ucl Physics and Min Zhou at USTC. #sustainable #EnergyStorage https://t.co/DdOzwaZLJT

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

The first Ca paper (review) of the group is online in Materials Advances @RoySocChem. Thank @Chrishowz and Min Zhou (USTC) for the great input. Project funded by @LeverhulmeTrust, Ca-ion #battery is a tricky one. A bumpy start but things are looking up! https://t.co/t8WNDmCqFb

[UCL Optical Tweezers @opticaltweezers]

Prof Donna Strickland (2018 Physics @NobelPrize Winner) will be visiting @ucl and giving the 2023 Massey Lecture on "Generating High-intensity, Ultra-Short Optical Pulses", 01 Feb 23 https://t.co/Uy1VVyfwC5

[Chris Howard @Chrishowz]

Phosphorene nanoribbons have unique and fascinating magnetic properties! see our preprint. Thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding collaboration with crack team assembled by @raj_pandya93 and @arjun_ashoka. I♥️PNRs.

[Raj Pandya @raj_pandya93]

Great to see this up! We find phosphorene nanoribbons have unusual magnetic properties (magnetic alignment and films with large internal fields) + optically accessible edge states! Huge effort with @arjun_ashoka @Chrishowz @ChemistClancy @Naitik_Panjwani
