The emissions attributed to communication networks continue to grow with growth in traffic. Currently ICT has a carbon footprint that is comparable to the global aviation industry. Read more
Nowadays, researchers have started to conceptualize 6G with the vision of connecting everything, transmission over mmWave and THz, and integrating sensing, communication, computation, and control functionalities. Read more
The UK’s Net Zero targets can only be met by 2050 by drastically reducing carbon emissions and limiting the use of greenhouse gases and F-gases. Read more
Energy is one of many global challenges for our modern society. Lighting devices based on the Organic Light-emitting Diodes (OLEDs) could answer this global challenge by offering the products with energy efficiency up to 100%. Read more
An enthusiastic materials science/engineering student is required to work on an industrially-sponsored R&D project involving plasma-based deposition of nanocomposite materials for application in energy and sustainability. Read more
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Development of propulsion systems for any type of vehicle involves enormous amounts of testing at a range of levels, from components through to whole vehicles. Read more

Thin ceramic films are hard to manufacture, but very important in energy conversion. Electrospraying (ES) is a versatile technique which has been used to dry, crystallize, and fabricate ultrathin layers of various materials. Read more
The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more
The candidate will work on a cutting-edge optical communication technology focusing on energy efficiency and net-zero. There is a wide range of applications from Zero-energy Internet-of-Things to ultra-high-speed optical links for data centres. Read more
