[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Applications or resurgence at particle colliders

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Updated: 29 September 2026 
The equations of the Standard Model of particle physics admit non-perturbative solutions called sphalerons. These play an important role in the electroweak phase transition, a pivotal moment in the Universe’s history when the W and Z bosons acquired their mass through the Higgs mechanism. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Seeing the invisible: novel technologies for particle physics

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Updated: 29 September 2026 
In the 1960s, theoretical physicists wrote the rulebook for particle interactions. the Standard Model. For over fifty years the Standard Model has held up against every experimental test thrown at it, predicting the behaviour of matter with startling precision. Read more

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

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Updated: 29 September 2026 
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

The University of Manchester
Department of Mathematics
Updated: 29 September 2026 
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

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
Updated: 29 September 2026 
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
