Conducting composites
In this issue of the student supplement learn about the serendipitous discovery of quantum tunnelling composites and the myriad potential applications of these novel materials
Quantum tunnelling composites (QTCs) were first made by accident in 1997 by David Lussey, a research engineer in Darlington who at the time ran a security business. He was asked by a local FE college to solve its problem of students stealing computers, and his attempts to find a solution led to these novel materials.
