BNC, world-leading technology solution providers and strategic consultants working in a range of high-technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it is organising three International Workshops in Science Technology & Innovation (ST&I) in Colombia in November to communicate “best practices” in establishing and managing ST&I projects.  A key objective of the workshops is to work […]

BNC has been granted two new patents in the UK protecting a material developed in collaboration with Imperial College London. The very innovative material is based on carbon nanotubes (PCT/GB2012/053260) or graphene (PCT/GB2013/050570) aerogels with outstanding mechanical and electrical properties, high surface area and significant accessible porosity. It has been proved that the nanostructured inert […]

BNC, in collaboration with Imperial College, has been granted a patent in the UK (PCT/GB2012/053261) protecting a very innovative idea that can offer an alternative to conventional heating methods. The idea is based in the use of materials with excellent thermal and electrical transport properties (k=0.4 W/mK; σ=60 S/m) that can be directly heated with an […]

The results of a research study recently carried out in collaboration between Bio Nano Consulting, University College London and King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia are featured in the inside front cover of Chemical Science from August 2016 (Issue 8). The paper reports on the novel synthesis, material characterisation, theoretical/computational understanding of the electronic […]
