“I've known and worked with Monica for over a decade now, first from our time at Base4, and then when she asked me to join Lambda. I can say without doubt that I have rarely seen anyone with the same level of drive and determination. Combined with her technical skills and her (sometimes brutal) honesty, it is no surprise that she ranks among the very best scientists I've met. Now that she's CEO of Lambda, I will add that she is indeed very suitable for this role - her insistence on transparency and clarity is extremely reassuring to those working with and for her, for instance. Her ability to get done what needs getting done is immediately apparent to those around her, and inspires the rest of the team to follow suit. I'm looking forward to continuing the Lambda adventure with her.”

Catalysing the Production of Multiple Arm Carbon Octopi Nano- Structures
Carbon
Octopus-like carbon nanofibres with leg diameters as small as 9 nm are reported, with a high yield over large areas, using a unique photo-thermal chemical vapour deposition system. The branched nature of these nanostructures leads to geometries ideal for increasing the surface area of contacts for many electronic and electrochemical devices. The manufacture of these structures involves a combination of a polyacrylonitrile/polysiloxane film covering the surface of cupronickel catalysts…
Octopus-like carbon nanofibres with leg diameters as small as 9 nm are reported, with a high yield over large areas, using a unique photo-thermal chemical vapour deposition system. The branched nature of these nanostructures leads to geometries ideal for increasing the surface area of contacts for many electronic and electrochemical devices. The manufacture of these structures involves a combination of a polyacrylonitrile/polysiloxane film covering the surface of cupronickel catalysts, supported on silicon. Acetylene is used as the carbon feedstock. High-resolution electron microscopy revealed a relationship between the geometry of the nanoparticles and the catalytic growth process, which can be tuned to maximise geometries (and therefore the surface area) and was obtained with a catalyst size of 125 nm. The technique proposed for growing these carbon octopi nanostructures is ideal to facilitate a new in situ transfer film process to place high-density carbon structures on secondary surfaces to produce high capacitance all-carbon contacts.
