Why does FLEET use atomically-thin, 2D materials? FLEET uses materials that are just one layer of atoms in thickness, referred to as being ‘atomically thin.’ Such materials are also known as ‘two dimensional’ (2D), as opposed to three dimensional. Quantum effects become much more significant when the freedom of charge carriers is restricted to only two dimensions (relative to their …
DRAFT article by Errol Working at atomic and subatomic levels provides a major challenge for the task of communicating FLEET research Such unimaginably small scales make it difficult for an audience (whether adult or younger) to directly visualise the mechanisms at work. FLEET will create resources, such as animation, models and displays, to help explain these concepts. Negotiations with ScienceWorks …
FLEET encourages members using social media to connect with each other and with broader community of researchers, colleagues, potential business partners, and others in related fields. We encourage you to associate yourself with FLEET, with your research, with others working in your field and with physics and science in general. We embrace healthy and honest discussion. Any comments on social …
15 minute project brief (12 min talk + 3 min questions) In this inaugural FLEET workshop, it’s important you pitch your talk so that most of the audience will understand most of the talk. Please bear in mind that the majority of the audience won’t be familiar with your particular field. We have researchers from every Research Theme and Enabling …
