Materials and Devices

This is of benefit both in the lab and, more importantly, outside academic circles to the general public. We are actively working on a range of material and device concepts that span improvements in current technology such as telecommunications, displays, lasers, and solar cells, to future technology such as quantum optic devices and microfluidic circuits.
