Kevin R. Supak | Tapered LADs: Acquiring Cryogenic Liquid Propellants in Deep Space To carry out complex manoeuvres such as orbit insertion, large spacecraft on long voyages must carry tanks of liquid propellants, kept at ultra-cold temperatures. In existing designs,...
Dr Alessia Besford | Understanding the Crown of a Nanoparticle Medical nanoparticles are an innovative method of delivering drugs to highly specific locations in the body, such as tumours or across the blood-brain barrier. Once a nanoparticle has entered the...
Dr John Slough | Fuelling the Next Generation of Rockets with Nuclear Fusion Most rockets combine liquid hydrogen and oxygen to throw out extremely hot, expanding gas as a propellant; however, there are limits to the efficiency of this system. Dr John Slough and his...
Logan Kossel | John Pfotenhauer – Advancing Cryogenic Technologies Through Pulsating Heat Pipes Comprising thin tubes that contain ultra-cold liquids and vapours, ‘cryogenic pulsating heat pipes’ can transport heat far more rapidly than even the most conductive...
Professor Rui Martins | Building a Microelectronics Research Group from the Ground Up Microelectronics are the minuscule components that power our modern world, from your smartphone to the systems that keep jet airliners in the sky. These essential components, such as...
Yiqiao Yin | Tracking Deforestation with Neural Networks Forests are key to Earth’s biodiversity and the global ecosystem, hosting 80% of the planet’s plant biomass and two-thirds of all mammal species. However, they are also in decline; each year, around five million...
