We have a new and exciting opportunity for an individual to join us as our Motion Control Lead Engineer at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source facility, based at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. We are looking to build a motion control support team and this post is the first step to achieving our goal. The postholder will have the unique opportunity to help recruit and shape the team that will support our network of motion control systems.
About the role
You will join the ISIS Electronic and Electrical User Support Group, working initially alongside the Group’s Operations section where you will be responsible for leading all aspects of the maintenance and repair of our motion control systems that include motors, encoders, mechanical systems, control electronics, computing and more.
New Polymer Captures Ammonia Preventing Air Pollution

A newly developed polymer could trap ammonia, preventing it from polluting the atmosphere, thus improving human health considerably.
Ammonia is a toxic gas that is a major source of air pollution that can harm human health. The compound of nitrogen and hydrogen is a byproduct of both agriculture and industry, and even though it is harmful enough alone causing damage to eyes, throats, and even in extreme circumstances death when it reacts with other air pollutants, it forms ammonium salts that can affect breathing. These fine particles can travel large distances in the atmosphere, thus becoming a widespread problem rather than a localized one.

DESY and Imperial College London collaborate to improve control of powerful plasma accelerators with AI
AI for controlling next generation accelerators improves potential for applications in research, medicine and industry.
An international team of accelerator experts with participation of researchers from DESY has successfully demonstrated that an algorithm was able to tune the complex parameters involved in controlling the next generation of plasma accelerators. The algorithm was able to optimize the accelerator much more quickly than a human operator. The experiments led by Imperial College London researchers were conducted at the Central Laser Facility at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK. The results are published today in Nature Communications.
