FaRMS members attended this conference in Annecy, France, from 18th – 21st March 2025 (conference photo below).
Dr. Chris Bell gave a talk on “Low temperature physics and materials science of elemental uranium thin films and alloys”, Dr. Lottie Harding spoke on “Revealing the crystal chemistry and dissolution kinetics of doped uranium dioxide nuclear fuel” (pictured below).
Will Thomas presented a poster on “Under pressure to uncover a record Tc in uranium – Synthesis and electrical transport of new uranium hydride phases” (pictured below), and Leo Gilliver’s poster was entitled “Underpinning National Nuclear Safety via the Safe Storage of Legacy Nuclear Waste”.
FaRMS alumna Dr. E. Lawrence Bright also spoke on ” Accessing single-crystal U4O9 and U3O7 using topotactic oxidation“, as well as presenting a poster (pictured below). Our colleague Prof. Claire Corkhill, from the School of Earth Sciences, also spoke on “New insight to U(V) stability in ancient titanate minerals”. Claire also received a Mid-career research award – congratulations!
Since some of us travelled via Geneva, and were able to meet a local cow, and also do some exercise at the airport.
