When: 23 April, 15:00 – Watch Now Over the past decades, a key objective for both the homogeneous and heterogeneous communities has been to develop ‘single site’ catalysts, in the hope of achieving extreme precision in terms of catalyst selectivity. There have been notable successes so that, taking homogeneous catalysis…
Development of an Ambient Pressure Microreactor for In Situ Soft XAS Analysis In the new decade I have joined Finden Ltd after being an active Cat Hub member and UCL research fellow for four years. I now work as a Research Scientist at a spin-off company co-founded by Prof Andy…
At present the Research Complex at Harwell are working with Diamond Light Source, the RFI and eBIC to increase research on COVID-19. This means that all research at the Research Complex at Harwell not related to the virus will be suspended until further notice. This allows them to maintain the social…
In light of the rapidly changing situation world-wide resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 virus Diamond would like to ensure that it is doing everything possible to support researchers in their efforts to discover more about the virus and bring us closer to an effective vaccine or treatment. With this in mind, Diamond…
We have a new newsletter highlighting the work done by the Catalysis Hub members over the past year, there has been a lot going on since the launch of Phase II. Highlights include: START project visit to South Africa report Facilities and equipment description New publications Call for projects Click…
The call for applications for 20 Phd positions at the European Synchrotron and European Neutron Source in Grenoble (F), within the InnovaXN MSCA COFUND project, is now open. InnovaXN is a doctoral training programme bringing together the expertise of large-scale research infrastructures with the R&D needs of European industry. One position is in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry…
