New video showcases state-of-the-art ALD equipment at Tyndall, UCC
In a new video, researcher Jun Lin showcases the capabilities of two pieces of state-of-the-art ALD (atomic layer deposition) equipment at the Advanced Materials and Surfaces Group, based in Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork in Ireland.
FreeHydroCells featured in Nanovate! magazine
‘Inspired by Nature’ – A two page feature on the FreeHydroCells project was published in the July 2023 edition of Nanovate! magazine. The piece illustrates how the core concept of FreeHydroCells draws on naturally occurring photosynthesis processes found in the natural world.
Q&A with FreeHydroCells’ Alex Buttimer
We sat down with Alex Buttimer to learn more about her background, nanoscience research interests, and the valuable contribution she has made towards the development of FreeHydroCells’ gas collection systems during her summer internship at Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork.
FreeHydroCells featured at ISMES X
The FreeHydroCells project concept was featured among a series of potential future technologies in sustainable energy production, at the recent ISMES X International School of Materials for Energy and Sustainability.
