At Naval Air Facility El Centro in Southern California, SpaceX recently completed its 16th test of Crew Dragon’s parachute system—verifying the system’s ability to slow Crew Dragon and ensure a safe landing in the unlikely event of a low altitude abort. instagram.com/p/BkgAmoGF490/

I'm so happy to have the key findings from my University of Surrey doctoral work published in Scientific Reports. This work shows that cavitation metrology can result in significantly more efficient/controllable sonication methodologies. #graphene #research #STEM nature.com/articles/s4159…

New study suggest #electric #bikes are much better for cities than electric cars! They ease pollution, congestion, get people moving and may even speed up peoples commutes! Electric cars will clean up the pollution, but they will not solve congestion. x.com/ElectrekCo/sta…

I'm so pleased that my recently published #EngD research on the use of controlled #ultrasonication techniques to produce #graphene from graphite is amongst the top 100 most downloaded articles from Scientific Reports materials science papers in 2019. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Reading a recent paper from @nature, I came across this extraordinary statistic: "The global mass of produced plastic is greater than the overall mass of all terrestrial and marine animals combined." rdcu.be/cfYLk

Today's the launch of an ISO/IEC standard for measuring the structural properties of graphene. In a Comment, Andrew Pollard (NPL) & colleagues describe how the new standard will help graphene buyers have confidence in the material they're purchasing rdcu.be/cgMxQ

Tesla Goes Bankrupt Palo Alto, California, April 1, 2018 -- Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it.
