- Introduction to the project. The project seeks to grow our understanding of how liquids wet and flow across natural and fabricated surfaces with diverse properties, and therefore how these aspects of liquid behaviour can be controlled and exploited. Read more
Thermoelectrics are materials which convert temperature gradients into electricity, or vice versa. These materials can harvest waste heat from industrial processes, turning it into electricity, or use electrical current to provide efficient cooling. Read more
Acrylic is a transparent plastic material, 100% recyclable, known since the Second World War and used in a large number of everyday applications due to its highly desirable properties. Read more
Two-dimensional materials “beyond graphene”, including transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and 2D layers of pure elements, like phosphorus, have shown some exceptional properties. Read more
A PhD position is available to work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Frank Cichos at the department Molecular Nanophotonics on the interactions of single polymer chains and the formation of amyloid fibrils in a thermophoretic trap. Read more
A PhD position is available to work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Frank Cichos at the department Molecular Nanophotonics on the optical control and analysis of Brownian machines and active-particle swarms. Read more
We are seeking expressions of interest to apply for Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) scholarships to join us for an interdisciplinary project aimed at developing new bioelectronic sensor technologies for studying membrane proteins at single molecule level by electronic methods.

The range and scope of our research is extensive. Our multidisciplinary research community brings engineers and scientists together to tackle matters of global importance. Read more
For more than a century, statistical physics has proved a powerful framework for understanding the behavior of systems made of a large number of particles. Read more
Background. Solid materials that can undergo large deformations are ubiquitous in nature and are widely used to manufacture engineering components, devices and structures. Read more
Lancaster University and European Training Network COMRAD. Cold Opto-Magnetism for Random Access Devices are pleased to offer a PhD studentship available for admission in October 2020. Read more
Understanding the nature and structure of materials far-from-equilibrium is one of the remaining grand challenges in condensed matter physics [1]. Read more
In condensed matter physics, the structure of a material is integral to its nature. Glasses are not an easy fit in this model. At a fundamental level, it is not known how their structure reflects their formation or the properties they subsequently display. Read more
