2008 — 2009

On 11 June 2008, xC-lab shifted from its temporary location at basement 3 of the School of Biological Science to its present location at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Organic Electronics Lab was set up in the same month. Our group's publications only started to come out in 2010.
