Talk: NanoGlow - lighting up a sustainable future
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.
Imagine using light and tiny particles to drive powerful chemical reactions - cleanly and efficiently. Current research is focused on designing nanoscale materials that harness light to break down pollutants, and generate clean fuels, in innovative and sustainable ways.
Dr Anastasiia Zaleska, a Research Associate in the Photonics & Nanotechnology group at King’s College London and member of the NanoGlow: Lighting Up a Sustainable Future main exhibit, will explore how these light-powered catalysts could revolutionise environmental clean-up and chemical manufacturing, offering new solutions to some of the biggest global challenges we face today.
