Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
