Your opportunity to work in a dynamic, world-leading team (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/materials-harwell/) in correlative in situ imaging of advanced manufacturing processes, with strong links to synchrotron facilities and industrial collaborators. Your role will be developing a chemical imaging instrument for additive manufacturing (AM) machines that is capable of imaging and analysing the…
Background: Certain aspects of transportation, air travel in particular, remain significant contributors to climate change, but are extremely difficult to decarbonise. Whilst the motor transportation industry is undergoing a revolution as Li-ion battery technology replaces fossil-derived liquid fuels, this is not possible for aviation fuel as the power-to-weight ratio of…
The main area of activity of ID15A is materials chemistry, particularly battery science, catalysis, piezoelectric materials, and the study of glasses and other disordered systems. The core techniques of ID15A are high-speed multidimensional XRD and total scattering, for which the beamline hosts state-of-the-art instrumentation enabling unique research opportunities. ID15A is…
About the Project A recent series of breakthroughs (Nature 604, 80 (2022), Nat. Chem. 14, 728 (2022), J. Am. Chem. Soc. 146, 4467 (2024)) from the Leigh group demonstrate how directionally biased dynamics of molecular components can be continuously and repetitively powered by catalysis – the same mode of operation that powers…
