The Programme in Nuclear and Energy Materials aims to help address the global energy problem by developing a coherent and internationally-recognised centre for world-class science in non-carbon energy materials, with strong interactions on policy and socioeconomic issues. The Programme is based in the Department of Materials, and draws together relevant research from across the University. Professor James Marrow, the James Martin Professor of Energy Materials, leads and develops work in key materials-based energy science and technology, and will lead research projects in the following areas: photovoltaics, materials for new generations of nuclear energy or demand reduction.

Newly funded project: Nuclear energy for the 21st century - The research will establish an understanding of the key materials problems which limit the exploitation of nuclear power in the 21st century.
