Samir Diab, a third year Chemical Engineering student has secured an EPSRC Vacation Scholarship to conduct research in Dr. Lev Sarkisov's group.

The project will focus on molecular simulations of properties of ionic liquids inside high surface area activated carbons.

A powerful camera is being developed that will enable scientists to examine living cells in unprecedented detail.

The fingernail-sized device, mounted within a microscope, will enable close-ups of the movement of molecules within cells.
