[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Machine-learning methods for analysing quantum turbulence in superfluid helium

Quantum turbulence is a remarkable form of fluid motion that occurs in superfluids. Unlike turbulence in ordinary fluids, quantum turbulence is sustained by a dynamic tangle of quantized vortices, each carrying a fixed amount of circulation. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Passive control of Saffman-Taylor instabilities in shear-thinning fluids

Interfacial instabilities are often undesirable in industrial and geophysical flows because they can lead to inefficient displacement and complex flow patterns. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] An artificial molecular machine that reads information and writes it through catalysis

Writing through catalysis. A tape-reading molecular catalyst. In 1936, Alan Turing imagined an automatic machine in which a ‘head’ moves along a tape, reading and writing symbols. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Actively sieving ions

Biology relies on the exquisite control of ion transfer across cell membranes. Highly specific proteins distinguish between ions such as Na+ and K+, and this selective transport through ion channels is fundamental to cell function. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Heterogenous quantum-dot–rubidium interfaces: photon generation, storage and conversion for quantum networks

Long-distance quantum communication is limited by photon loss in optical fibre. Heterogeneous quantum repeaters that combine deterministic III–V quantum-dot (QD) sources with room-temperature alkali-vapour memories offer a practical route to high-rate, fibre-compatible networks (Zajac et al., arXiv:2503.13775).
