Nanomaterials are now employed in many fields of science and technology ranging from biomedicine and the development of new diagnostic methods, to physics and engineering, and the fabrication of novel devices for energy conversion and storage. The major reason for the vast range of applications of nanomaterials is the ability to easily adjust their magnetic, electrical, optical, catalytic and mechanical properties.
Globally, freshwater fish have economic, ecological and cultural value. Freshwater ecosystems are the most degraded of all environments, and fish are one of the most threatened groups of vertebrates.
This PhD studentship aims at developing a radiation detector technology based on memristive system. This project exploits the architectonic of memristor device (small, low power, fast, and intrinsically rad-hard) to sense radiation onboard the high-altitude and space objects.
We're developing the sustainable production of lithium from geothermal waters in Cornwall (UK), with the purpose of securing the supply of materials for the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles.
Our team specialises in the development and manufacturing of novel optoelectronic devices for applications in quantum technology, integrated optical sensors and laser optics.
The world has undergone wide-scale urbanisation in recent decades, and the percentage of people living in cities is predicted to grow from 30% in 1950 to 68% by 2050. Ubiquitous with urbanisation is artificial light at night (ALAN, also referred to as light pollution), which is considered one of the most pervasive forms of environmental alteration. More than 80% of the world’s population now live under artificially illuminated skies, and both the extent and brightness of the Earth’s artificially lit surface continues to increase.
