Dr Alasdair Macleod – Hydrogen and Wind – A Perfect Match? Wind energy is highly variable, but a claim frequently made is that it is possible to turn a large wind turbine into a power source as reliable as a conventional power station by combining it with hydrogen generation. In this talk we will consider if this is really possible and explain the compromises needed if we are to live in a world powered only by wind. |

Dr Alasdair Macleod – Nano technology – small is beautiful Whatever happened to graphene? We often hear of breakthroughs at the molecular level accompanied by promises of a new world build with materials with incredible science fiction properties. We will explore what is really happening and how are these materials are actually affecting our lives. |
