Joshua Lewis is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. Joshua is researching next-generation battery technologies in the chemistry and physics departments at the University of Cambridge, UK. His scientific interests focus on finding the connections between the atomic, nano and bulk scale properties of materials, especially where applications in energy storage and generation can be found. When he isn't writing articles or testing batteries he can usually be found carving something out of wood or reading a novel in the garden.

New discovery transforms dissolved CO2 into solid carbon, which can be stored more easily than liquid CO2 or even sold as a functional material
Researchers report high-capacity, washable, rechargeable Zn-ion batteries with a "yarn" form factor for flexible wearable power storage
Focused electric fields deliver reprogramming factors into cells, enabling blood vessels and neurons to be created from skin and muscle tissues
Cancer is a complex disease to treat, and yet the operating principle of many current treatments is to simply kill healthy cells a little slower than cancerous ones. In response, scientists at The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have developed a sophisticated nanoparticle-based treatment. Their theranostic nanoparticles carry an anti-cancer drug cargo, […]
