Lawrence Carter’s 2022 paper using electric pulse fragmentation to unlock the secrets of porphyry ore body formation was Nature Communications 30th most downloaded article of last year. This work shifts our thinking from a slow build up or fertile magmas to them developing over a much shorter timescale…read more

Read MoreVirgin CFRP's are energy intensive and expensive to create however, and locks valuable carbon fibres in resin. Incorporating recycled CFRP into new products can significantly reduce the energy and monetary cost of production, however used CFRP is difficult to recycle due to it’s resilience, posing a challenge for the future. Can new technologies solve this modern recycling problem?
Read MoreMining is seen as dirty, destructive and unsustainable, yet it' is necessary to provide metals for technology we all need. Yet without public support, mining often cannot take place. Are miners doing enough to present themselves as a solution rather than a problem?
Read MorePublished in the October 2022 edition of Nature Scientific Reports, this article addresses the previously fragmented understanding of the magmatic timescales associated with porphyry-deposit formation through study of the the world’s best exposed porphyry system
Read MoreWith the release of the UK’s strategy for securing the supply of critical minerals in July this year, there’s been plenty of discussion about the government’s plans, what it wants to achieve, and how it compares with other nations.
