OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Many carbon-based molecules behave as semiconductors when they have similar electronic structure to graphene. Nature has developed these to harvest energy from sunlight in photosynthetic systems. Much more recently, synthetic organic semiconductors have been developed and are now successfully used in semiconductor devices such as LEDs for OLED displays. I will outline some of the scientific surprises along the route from discovery to practical applications, and discuss the scope for engineering efficient solar cells.
