Last chance to apply
(EPSRC DTP) Imaging vascular inflammation in the brain using molecular MRI
The brain’s vasculature forms part of a highly specialized structure called the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The primary role of the BBB is to prevent damaging compounds or pathogens in the blood from entering the brain, while efficiently delivering essential nutrients to brain tissue. Read more
Design of novel interlayers in W-W diffusion-bonded joints for large nuclear shielding components applications PhD
Continuous and reliable energy generation in future nuclear fusion reactors will depend on the development of materials able to withstand a very harsh environment. Read more
