European Network 'Thermodynamics in the quantum regime' Launched
The kick-off of a large-scale European network
for research in 'Thermodynamics in the Quantum Regime' was celebrated
in Brussels on Tues 30 April 2013. The successful proposal for one of the prestigious COST
network grants, funded by the ESF, was led by UCL's researcher Dr Janet Anders.

Quantum Magic
In a recent STFC newsletter, UK news from CERN, Dr Stephen Hogan describes how he, and a team of international collaborators are investigating the properties of antimatter. The AEGIS experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator, in CERN has been designed to exploit techniques Stephen developed to accelerate antihydrogen atoms in excited states; to transport them and make beams suitable for measurements of the acceleration of antimatter in the Earth's gravitational field.

Evidence for a T-Shape Break-Up Pattern in the Triple Photoionization of Li
According to Wannier's law, when a single
photon is absorbed with energy just above the fragmentation threshold, the
electrons in a multi-electron atom break-up in the most symmetric way.

Trapping and manipulation of microbubbles in optical and acoustical fields
A PhD studentship is available as part of a joint project between the National Physical Laboratory,
University College London (UCL) and the
University of Oxford, aimed at the trapping and manipulation of
microbubbles in optical and acoustical fields, to transform them into
micro-sensors. The project already employs a PhD student for the
theoretical part: we are currently recruiting a student
for the experimental side of the project.
The
work will be mainly conducted at NPL under the direction of Dr Gianluca
Memoli, and the student will be registered for a PhD with
Dr Philip Jones, at the
Department of Physics & Astronomy, University College London.
The studentship is available for three years, starting in early 2012 and will pay a stipend and fees at a rate applicable for UK and EU students.
Candidates
should have a degree in Physics or Engineering and previous
experimental experience (with lasers or ultrasound or microfluidics)
would be a clear advantage.
The
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is one of the UK's leading science
facilities and research centres. It is a world-leading centre
of excellence in developing and applying the most
accurate standards, science and technology available.
NPL
occupies a unique position as the UK's National Measurement Institute
and sits at the intersection between scientific discovery and real world
application. Its expertise and original
research have underpinned quality of life, innovation and
competitiveness for UK citizens and business for more than a century.
NPL
is based in a unique research environment which is located in pleasant
surroundings on the edge of Bushy Park in south-west London. We have a
host of onsite facilities including a subsidised
crèche, restaurant, and a sports and social club.
NPL
Management Limited is committed to supporting their people to develop
both personally and professionally and is committed to equal
opportunities.
