Metabolites play many important roles in humans including through metabolism to support our growth and health, through incorporation of lipids in cell membranes to influence transport of biochemicals in to and out of cells and to regulate biochemical processes. Read more
Blade pitch bearings of large scale wind turbines control the individual blades in order to maximise power generation at low wind speeds and to prevent turbine damages under high winds. Read more
Natural gas is seen as cleaner than other fossil fuels and will continue to have an essential role in the energy mix of the future, particularly in the UK. Read more
Biomass Combustion is an important renewable form of energy for power generation. Combined heat and power, CHP, is an efficient way of utilising this energy most effectively in units of 30 to 60 MW. Read more
Composite airframe panels are subjected to extreme loads and impacts. Cracks can develop at microstructure at an early stage and then propagate due to fatigue. Read more
The development of new advanced composite materials offers plenty of possibilities to implement these new structures into highly strained components and applications. Read more

The past four decades of science have witnessed how chemists have learnt from nature, in part by trial and error as well as elegant design, to understand and master the use of weak non-covalent interactions and self-assembly processes in synthetic systems to realise complex multi-component assemblies that exhibit attractive functionalities.

We have a vacancy for a PhD student working in the area of physical chemistry. While lithium dominates current battery technology, there is considerable drive to move away from lithium salts to more abundant or lower cost alternatives. Read more
Emerging infectious diseases often originate from a host shift, where a pathogen is transferred from its original host to a new host species. Read more
Dr Cath Weetman has a PhD position available (starting October 2024) in the general area of synthetic and mechanistic organometallic main group chemistry. Read more
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a high-speed 3D fluorescence imaging method capable of imaging at up to 1000s of frames per second and 10s of volumes per second. Read more
Metamaterials have revolutionised the way we control light waves. Essentially, by engineering the diffraction of light on sub-wavelength scales, one can design new exotic materials and novel applications, for example flat lenses, invisibility cloaks and negative refraction. Read more
