Most modern rechargeable batteries for transportation rely on lithium. Yet, the relatively high price, limited global availability of lithium, and environmental issues related to lithium extraction are driving demand for a more affordable alternative. This could boost the adoption of energy...

Thermal batteries (often termed primary reserve batteries) offer several key advantages over primary and secondary batteries due to their long shelf life, high temperature stability, quick activation, reliability, robustness and the fact that they are maintenance-free. Despite these many...

The production of vast amounts of nuclear fusion energy in tokamak and compact spherical reactor designs, as a replica of nuclear reactions in the sun, rely on the deuterium (D)-tritium (T) reaction and the hot D-T plasma confinement using intense superconducting magnets. Tritium is an unstable...

Structural steels based on body-centred cubic structures are a preferential option for first wall and breeder blanket components in magnetically-confined fusion tokamak designs, due to their enhanced resistance to radiation-induced void swelling, as compared to face-centred cubic materials, and...

Wide band gap (WBG) materials are assumed to be insulators, materials that display metallic conductivity are assumed to be opaque, and these two properties are often thought to be mutually exclusive. Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), however, are unique materials that display optical...

The deployment of future nuclear fusion power plants and related technologies, including the UKAEA programme STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) as a demonstrator of net energy generation and plant sustainability, relies on the availability of qualified structural materials in...

The formulation of emulsions for beverage applications has long been employed for cream liqueurs and flavour delivery systems. Dispersing a hydrophobic phase into an aqueous medium typically relies on the use of emulsification techniques having inherently high CO2 footprints stemming from both...

PhD Studentship: Data-driven Probabilistic Modelling of Clonal Dynamics in Human Tissues and Cancers
Cancer is responsible for one in eight deaths, worldwide. Cancer initiation and development is driven by the accumulation of genetic mutations within cells that maintain and regenerate human tissues. In the last decade, rapid advances in next-generation genome sequencing technologies have...

Hair conditioning is an essential process to our daily life, whereby a layer of formulated product is deposited on hair surface, resulting in desirable benefits. Its global market was ~ 9.14 Billion USD in 2021, and has a significant impact on not only the wellbeing of human, but the...
