A (fairly) light-hearted explanation of the process of in vitro fertilisation in humans. Winner of the Kroto Prize for Innovative Use of Technology in Science Learning 2016.

Matt Johnson explains the Krebs Cycle, its discovery by a University of Sheffield Nobel Prize winner and its role in endurance sports such as cycling.

The quantum spin Hall effect is a topological state of matter characterized by sustaining gapless chiral edge states together with an insulating bulk. This phase can be triggered out by applying strong magnetic fields in a graphene sample

A magnetic tunnel junction is a device with two magnets separated by a very thin non-magnetic barrier. The two magnets can be aligned parallel or antiparallel. The electrical resistance of this devices depends on the alignment. This video illustrates....

It seems likely that C60+ will act as a stable site for a wide variety of adducts and that these entities will contribute to the Diffuse Interstellar Bands.  John Maier's group in Basel is looking for species like C60(Fe)+.

The early (mid 1990s) work on the electronic spectroscopy was carried out by John Maier's group, trapping C60+ in a neon matrix in this apparatus.

John Maier's team at the University of Basel solved the riddle of C60+ in 2015.  In this brief view Colin Byfleet looks at the unique apparatus used in John's work.

The presentation the solution to this long-standing puzzle occurred at a most serendipitous moment.  John Maier, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Basel reveals the momentous details.

John Maier, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Basel, describes the journey from the prediction of C60+ in 1987, through tentative assignment of its electronic spectrum by Radioastronomy, measurement in a neon-matrix and finally, in....
