Reaction Monitoring and Structural Characterisation of Coordination Driven Self-Assembled Systems by Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry

Can you envisage a world where building a new catalyst or an artificial enzyme is like following an architectural plan for building a house? This is difficult as we don't even fully understand the construction materials! We research the properties of molecular building-blocks and their "constructed" aggregates, towards drawing up these type of blueprints. Read more

Developing Electrically-switchable Glazing for Electric Vehicles

Project description. Lancaster University and Jaguar Land Rover are pleased to offer a fully-funded 3.5-year PhD position focused on the development of electrically-switchable glazing for electric vehicles. Read more

Water Repellency, Adhesion and Friction

Many plants (and animals) structure there surfaces to be slippery to liquids. The Lotus leaf uses hydrophobic waxy bumps to ball-up water droplets which then roll-off taking with them dirt and parasites in a self-cleaning effect. Read more

Atomic scale characterisation and quantum engineering of energy-efficient molecular materials (QMol)

Project summary – The goal of this PhD project is to help realise a new generation of switchable molecular devices with the potential to fulfil societal needs for flexible energy harvesting materials, low-power neuromorphic computing, smart textiles, and self-powered patches for healthcare.

Control of Membrane Transport in Polymer Based Artificial Cells

Artificial cell and organelle construction has recently gained substantial attention to generate simplified models for understanding of biological phenomena, or micro- and nanomachines for biomedical and biotechnological applications. Read more

Effect of high ionic strength groundwater and reactive sedimentary minerals on cement backfill performance

Overview: . The UK has recently expanded both the range of backfill cement formulations to be considered in UK radioactive waste repository planning, and simultaneously included the potential to use lower strength sedimentary rock as the host rock. Read more

Vapour Deposited Perovskites for High Performance Multi-Junction Photovoltaic Devices

Metal-halide perovskite based solar cells have now achieved a light to electricity conversion efficiency of 26.1%, making them the leading emerging thin-film solar cell material. Read more

Organic Synthesis and Self-Assembly of State-Independent Electrolyte Materials

Ideal electrolytes for energy devices such as batteries and solar cells would (i) be lightweight and flexible, (ii) exhibit thermal stability, (iii) be non-volatile (to reduce fire risk), (iv) provide good interfacial contact with electrodes, (v) be amenable to processing and recycling, (vi) have high ionic conductivities, and (vii) be made from cheap, renewable feedstocks.

How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach

Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more
