PFAS chemicals are notoriously difficult to remove from water. Njelama Sanga's PhD digs into how these molecules self-assemble, and whether seed proteins could hold the key to breaking them apart.
The earliest signs of degradation in duplex stainless steel are almost impossible to catch — until now. Monika Rolinska's research pushes neutron scattering to its limits to detect phase separation before it becomes a problem.
What if a bone implant could simply dissolve once it has done its job? Lisa Larsson's PhD explores how fine-tuning the 3D printing process of a biodegradable magnesium alloy brings that possibility closer to the clinic.
Magnetic refrigeration could one day replace compressor-based cooling — but getting there requires understanding the right materials deeply. Karthika Kariattukarakaran's research maps the intricate magnetic structures that make certain iron phosphide alloys promising candidates.
Sodium-ion batteries are a sustainable alternative to lithium — but water inside the cathode material has been a hidden challenge. Ida Nielsen's PhD uses neutrons to track exactly where that water sits and what it takes to replace it.
A key finding from Franks research has been studying the superconducting states of transition metal dichalcogenides under extreme conditions such as high pressure.
