08.09.2022 Our interdisciplinary research project "van der Waals heart" is funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). In this project, we will probe the electrical activity of heart cells and tissues down to the subcellular level. Better understanding of the electrical activity of healthy heart cells will help us to reveal the causes of dysfunctional heart cells and potentially guide us towards better treatment towards Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

13.08.2022 Our April 1st joke paper titled "Novel approach to room temperature superconductivity problem" is highlighted by famous science and technology Youtuber Sabine Hossenfelder in her latest video! Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOngA8bBbkg (from 11:11)

29.06.2022 Tamaghna Chowdhury joined our group as a visiting PhD student and will be exploring the 2D chemistry using Raman system.

01.04.2020 Room Temperature Superconductivity 'Breakthrough' due to COVID-19 outbreak

A long-standing problem of observing Room Temperature Superconductivity is finally solved by a novel approach. Instead of increasing the critical temperature Tc of a superconductor, the temperature of the room was decreased to an appropriate Tc value. We consider this approach more promising for obtaining a large number of materials possessing Room Temperature Superconductivity in the near future.

"Dimensional reduction in graphite

The quantum Hall effect is thought to exist only in two-dimensional materials. Here, transport measurements show that thin graphite slabs have a 2.5-dimensional version, with a parity effect for samples with odd and even number of layers."

29.03.2019 "Our work that was marked as Editor's Pick in APL is now online! Here we show that graphene-based electronic devices can perform in temperatures comparable to that of the Venus atmosphere (∼460°C). Shall we see graphene in space? How about that, @elonmusk? " Makars Šiškins, 1st author of our paper!
