In a breakthrough study scientists have revealed the coherence, or the visibility lifespan, of the spin of an electron in an emerging colour centre...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have devised a new simulation technique which reliably predicts the structure and behaviour of different...

A new process developed by scientists at the University of Cambridge has the potential to drive down the cost of manufacturing solar-grade silicon...

Solar energy company to develop and manufacture high performance, lower cost plastic solar cells.

The Department of Engineering and Dow Corning are working together to develop low-cost optical interconnects for high-speed data communications.

How can the cost of solar cells be reduced enough to make them a feasible source of large-scale renewable energy? The answer is to make them thin.

A new way of making LEDs could see household lighting bills reduced by up to 75% in five years time, thanks to research at Cambridge University.

Whether someone will become the next Richard Branson, Steve Jobs or Henry Ford may be down to whether they make risky decisions, scientists at the...
