Congratulations to all CRANN, AMBER, TCIN and CNGL students who took part in the Thesis in 3 vent on the evening of Friday 27^th in the Science Gallery Café.

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced that Professor Valeria Nicolosi, based in CRANN (the nanoscience institute at Trinity College Dublin), will receive up to €150,000 funding for a one year project to bridge the gap between her pioneering 'blue sky' research and marketable innovation.

Prof Valeria Nicolosi, Principal Investigator in CRANN and TCD’s Schools of Chemistry and Physics was one of 40 researchers under the age of 40 selected globally by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to present her research at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, China recently. Her internationally recognised research focuses on processing and characterising nanomaterials for the development of more efficient energy storage devices.

Researchers at CRANN, Ireland’s leading Science Foundation Ireland funded nanoscience institute based at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), have developed a new method of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The discovery will have significant impact in the worldwide race to cheaply and efficiently produce hydrogen gas, hailed as the clean energy source of the future.

Two researchers from CRANN, the SFI-funded nanoscience institute based at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) have just published an invited Review in Science, one of the world’s premier science publications. To be invited to write a Review is a rare opportunity and demonstrates the esteem in which Irish nanoscience research is held internationally.
