The Applied Catalysis Award is held every two years, for individuals who have contributed significantly in the field of applied catalysis, and is not limited to one field in catalysis. Applications are welcomed from all fields including but not limited to homogeneous, heterogeneous, bio, pharma, photo and process catalysis in…
The University of Oxford intends to appoint a senior academic who is a leading and internationally recognised scholar to provide intellectual leadership in sustainable photochemistry and/or electrochemistry in the use of solar energy to make chemicals. This new senior role, a full-time research leadership post, is supported by university strategic…
Over 10 gigatons of CO2 must be captured every year before 2050 if national and global net-zero pledges are to be met, the vast majority of which will likely be stored underground in geological rock formations. This means that CO2 is not only readily available and cheap, but it can also serve…
The ISIS Collaborative Research and Development program (ICRD) provides a low risk, flexible access route for academia-industry applications for ISIS beamtime. Rather than submitting an ISIS proposal into the standard calls for proposals, ICRD users can submit their proposals at any time, and the proposals are reviewed immediately, with a…
Photo induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) combines the analytical power of infrared vibrational spectroscopy with the spatially resolved nano-topographical information of atomic force microscopy (AFM) creating an extraordinarily powerful technique for investigating the behaviour of surfaces in greater detail than has previously been possible. Whereas techniques such as SEM, EDX and…
When: 14 – 15 March 2024Where: Nottingham, United Kingdom The meeting is open to everyone, and aims to engage early career researchers in debate and discussions about all areas of analytical biosciences, and provide the opportunity to build networks with other researchers in the field. A number of keynote speakers have…
The ability to simultaneously image physical and chemical changes inside of polymers in real time during catalytic polymerization would be far-reaching. It would enable not only understanding of dynamic chemical and physical changes inside polymers with high spatiotemporal resolution, but also how these two features impact each other. Here, the development…
PiFM shows itself as a powerful technique to provide visual and spectroscopical data of materials in nano-scale: from silica nano-spheres to the complex biomineralization of clams. The talk aims to introduce the technique and some of the equipment capabilities. Click below to view a recording of the presentation: Biography Arthur…
Use of plastic has increased 20-fold during the last 50 years, and at the same time only 14% of all plastic is currently recycled. This has led to a worldwide plastic crisis. Plastic Energy has a unique patented Thermal Anaerobic Conversion (TAC) process that enables End of Life Plastic (ELP)…
Sustainable chemicals production and renewable feedstocks development are key components to mediating negative impacts of fossil fuels and related chemicals on the biosphere. Our research is focussed on green catalysis and sustainable chemicals for health and wellbeing in a research space that has not yet adopted sustainability as a driver…
