Investigating the fuelling of supermassive black holes using multi-phase gas
Supervisory Team: Sandra Raimundo. Project description. Supermassive black holes live in the centre of galaxies and grow by the accretion of gas from their surroundings. Read more
Accelerator-based experimental studies of exotic nuclear structures
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship leading to a PhD degree in nuclear physics. Read more
MRes: Measuring the expansion of waxes upon melting at high pressure
The Materials and Physics Research Group at The University of Salford has recently developed a new all-optical method to directly measure the pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) equation of state (EOS) of fluids and transparent solids in the diamond anvil high pressure cell by measuring the volume of the sample chamber.
