Exciting new 3 year post doc opportunity with a talented member of staff (Mike Smith) on a project to work on particle tracking in dense vibrated systems. I would encourage anyone who is interested to apply. jobs.ac.uk/job/DNI776/resear…

I've got an exciting PhD 3.5 year fully funded PhD opportunity (for home (UK) students), looking at how we can apply novel high entropy inspired crystallisation to the self-assembly of Quantum Dot films

The curious case of the spotty snail trail, part 2: this snail travelled at constant speed (it's my week off!) and yet the spotty trail is still there. I can feel an experiment brewing.
Dear @AskNationwide, why are you asking me for details about my salary before you let me access my account/banking app. How is this any of your business?

Dear snail experts of Twi-X. This is Barry*. Does anyone know why its trail is made up of evenly spaced blobs? Is it stopping periodically to sample its environment, or is this some new, snail-based scram jet technology. Should I be worried? Asking on a friend's behalf.

Another great PhD opportunity at UoM, come and do some cool work on the self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals for generating novel photonic films and devices:

I'm really excited about this PhD project! Using robots for automated sample preparation of blends of small organic semiconductors for new solar energy conversion materials:

Our latest experiments were a lot of fun to do! We hole punch inexpensive piezos and suspend membranes across the holes. Piezos drive the membranes and a microphone is used to measure their vibrational spectrum. Peaks tell us about film tension/properties. link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/Phy…
We also did some simple finite difference simulations of membrane vibration. All the work was done with my PhD student Nathaniel Roberts (not on Twi-X!)
