Machinable ceramics are a desirable material for the fabrication of a vast range of components such as turbine blades or specialised laboratory equipment. A promising new protocol for rheology modified alumina by Gokay Avci et al. [1] was discussed in the first half of this journal club. In the second half we discussed the Nobel Prizes 2016 in the disciplines of Chemistry, Physics, and Physiology and Medicine which have been announced last week. This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was partly awarded to the University of Edinburgh alumnus Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines".
This journal club took place on the 13th October 2016, 12-12:45pm
in the XY-Café in the Roger Land Building. Number of attendees: 10. The paper was chosen by Ilka. Jenny brought doughnuts and pastries.
The next journal club is scheduled for the 20th October 2016.
