Dave, it's been an honour 🥂 Last week we said farewell to the trailblazing Prof Dave Worsley, who has been an invaluable mentor to many at Swansea University. A huge thank you for all your contributions Dave, we're looking forward to hearing about what you get up to next!

#ActiveBuildings architect @joanna_r_morgan is leading a project with @WernickGroup to understand the life cycle carbon emissions of modular buildings. Funded by @EPSRC 'Switch to Net Zero Buildings' PBIAA, it will support Wernick's #NetZero by 2040 goal wernick.co.uk/article/modula…

An air quality monitor that can run on #SolarEnergy from indoor light has been invented by a @SUSciEng spin-out co-founded by @MattCarnie & @Zaid_Haymoor The research that led to the new product was part of @atip_pg, a programme to advance next-gen PV specific-ikc.uk/air-quality-mo…

@atip_pg aim to deliver next gen organic and #perovskite #photovoltaics in integrated applications with clear technological need bears fruit with commercialisation of self-charging CO2 air monitor 👇 imperial.ac.uk/news/258513/ai… @info_specific

A new @RoySocChem paper presents a new approach to making NASICON films that drastically reduces manufacturing times, using a sol-gel and near-infrared ultrafast sintering at high temperatures. 📎 lnkd.in/eKsaBGYt 👏Rafael Martí Valls, Anne Sawhney, Celina Dlofo et al.
