New inorganic materials are needed to advance technology and to develop our basic scientific understanding of the connection between chemical composition, crystal structure and physical properties. Read more
The properties of inorganic materials are determined by their crystal structures, and there are often a select few structural families which dominate the application areas for particular properties which can limit performance development. Read more
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the computational discovery of new materials to enhance the performance of PV devices and forms part of a larger collaboration with NSG around the discovery of new materials for the glass industry. Read more
We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic doctoral student at the University of Nottingham to perform computational research aimed at developing novel metal hydrides and metal complex hydrides for energy storage applications. Read more

Porous materials such as foams and felts are often used to reduce noise levels. However, these materials are often ineffective at low frequencies. Read more
Low and zero thermal expansion materials are used in many industries where size stability under high temperatures is critical e.g., aerospace, precision manufacturing, sensors. Read more
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of “Beyond Graphene. Computational Screening of 2D Materials to Eliminate Friction”, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
Graphene is a novel material with outstanding electronic and mechanical properties. Chemical modification of graphene gives rise to new materials, such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, with properties very distinct from graphene and with possible applications in photocatalysis and batteries. Read more
The student will develop tools for crystal structure prediction, apply them to predict structure and related properties from material composition, and use newly developed materials discovery software to guide and accelerate the synthesis of novel inorganic compounds. Read more
High temperature superconductivity has great promise to transform society through the transmission of electricity with zero resistance, though the underlying physics is complex and difficult to predict from first principles, and the space of possible materials is large and equally complex. Read more
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE), the loss of the ductility due to the diffusion of atomic hydrogen in steels, has major consequences in pipelines. Read more
The discovery of new inorganic materials is necessary to advance sustainable technologies, such as fuel cells which provide alternative routes to energy production that are critical for modern society to achieve net zero. Read more
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), as a burgeoning additive manufacturing (AM) technology, is gaining more and more attention owing to its superior ability to produce high-performance parts with complex geometries. Read more
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the main UK government agency for funding research and training in engineering and the physical sciences, investing more than £850m a year. Read more
