The ultrastructure of subgingival dental plaque, revealed by high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (2015)
Journal Article
Holliday, R., Preshaw, P. M., Bowen, L., & Jakubovics, N. S. (2015). The ultrastructure of subgingival dental plaque, revealed by high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy. BDJ Open, 1(1), Article 15003. https://doi.org/10.1038/bdjopen.2015.3

Objectives/Aims: To explore the ultrastructure of subgingival dental plaque using high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and to investigate whether extracellular DNA (eDNA) could be visualised in ex vivo samples. Materia... Read More about The ultrastructure of subgingival dental plaque, revealed by high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy.

A Comparative Study of the Effects of Nontoxic Chloride Treatments on CdTe Solar Cell Microstructure and Stoichiometry (2015)
Journal Article
Williams, B. L., Major, J. D., Bowen, L., Keuning, W., Creatore, M., & Durose, K. (2015). A Comparative Study of the Effects of Nontoxic Chloride Treatments on CdTe Solar Cell Microstructure and Stoichiometry. Advanced Energy Materials, 5(21), Article 1500554. https://doi.org/10.1002/aenm.201500554

This work presents the first systematic comparison of the effects of a range of chlorides (CdCl2, MgCl2, NaCl, and NH4Cl) on the microstructure and chemical composition of CdTe/CdS/ZnO/SnO2 solar cells, providing valuable insight to the ubiquitous Cl...

Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Carbon Stabilization in Manganese Oxides (2015)
Journal Article
Johnson, K., Purvis, G., Lopez-Capel, E., Peacock, C., Gray, N., Wagner, T., …Greenwell, C. (2015). Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Carbon Stabilization in Manganese Oxides. Nature Communications, 6, Article 7628. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms8628

Minerals stabilize organic carbon (OC) in sediments, thereby directly affecting global climate at multiple scales, but how they do it is far from understood. Here we show that manganese oxide (Mn oxide) in a water treatment works filter bed traps dis... Read More about Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Carbon Stabilization in Manganese Oxides.

Computing with carbon nanotubes: optimization of threshold logic gates using disordered nanotube/polymer composites (2015)
Journal Article
Massey, M., Kotsialos, A., Qaiser, F., Zeze, D., Pearson, C., Volpati, D., …Petty, M. (2015). Computing with carbon nanotubes: optimization of threshold logic gates using disordered nanotube/polymer composites. Journal of Applied Physics, 117(13), Article 134903. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4915343

This paper explores the use of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/poly(butyl methacrylate) composites as a material for use in unconventional computing. The mechanical and electrical properties of the materials are investigated. The resulting data...
