An EPSRC centre for doctorial training sponsored PhD studentship is available to undertake research in the field of actinide X-ray and electron spectroscopy in a collaborative project between AWE and two research groups at the University of Manchester. Read more
In order to support new nuclear technologies that will provide solutions for deep decarbonisation and Net Zero, we need to the address the issues surrounding the clean-up and reduction of nuclear waste. . Read more
Burning fossil fuels for energy is largely responsible for today's environmental crisis, making the transition to renewable energy sources a global priority. Read more
Proteins are biopolymers that are comprised of chains of amino acids which condense into functional forms critical for all the processes of life. Read more
This PhD project aims to develop novel bio-inspired peptide electronic materials integrated with conductive moieties to create hydrogels capable of conducting electricity, for application in neural cell stimulation. Read more
More efficient catalytic processes, requiring less energy, and converting natural “waste” such as carbon dioxide and methanol as well as synthetic plastic waste to value-added products is crucial to help reach net zero and reduce the current anthropogenic impact on our environment and climate. Read more
Humanity’s demand for fuels and chemicals is rapidly increasing, driven by a growing population and global demands for an improved quality of life. Read more
Ceramic coatings are vital in high-temperature applications, especially in aero-engines and the power generation industry. These coatings increase the engine’s operating temperature to improve efficiency and reduce the engine’s environmental impact. Read more
The formation of ordered magnets, such as spin-chains representing one-dimensional arrays of spins, relies on cooperative effects among magnetic spins. Read more
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. The development of new electronic materials that can be produced with lower embedded energy, and/or consume less energy during their operational lifetime will be critical in realiseing the challenges of net zero. Read more
Lead halide perovskites have shown tremendous promise as materials for novel photovoltaics with exceptionally high efficiencies and low cost manufacture, but their application is limited due to the inherent stability of the materials. Read more
Atmospheric aerosols are one of the greatest threats to human health, and present one of the largest uncertainty in understanding and predicting our climate. Read more
Watching paint dry can be fascinating. Painting a room can make it aesthetically pleasing, but paints can do much more than just please the eyes. Read more
