Reclaiming Academia from Post-academia (2008)
Journal Article
Moriarty, P. (2008). Reclaiming Academia from Post-academia. Nature Nanotechnology, 3,

Post-academic science, driven as it is by commercialisation and market forces, is fundamentally at odds with core academic principles. Publicly-funded academics have an obligation to carry out science for the public good, a responsibility which is in... Read More about Reclaiming Academia from Post-academia.

No resonant tunneling in standard scalar quantum field theory (2008)
Journal Article
Copeland, E. J., Padilla, A., & Saffin, P. M. (2008). No resonant tunneling in standard scalar quantum field theory. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/01/066

We investigate the nature of resonant tunneling in Quantum Field Theory. Following the pioneering work of Banks, Bender and Wu, we describe quantum field theory in terms of infinite dimensional quantum mechanics and utilize the ``Most probable escape...

The fermion spectrum in braneworld collisions (2007)
Journal Article

In braneworld collisions fermions originally localised on one brane can be transferred to another brane, or to a space-time boundary. By modelling branes as scalar field kinks we bounce them off boundaries and study resulting effects according to a b... Read More about The fermion spectrum in braneworld collisions.

Anisotropic Assembly of Colloidal Nanoparticles: Exploiting Substrate Crystallinity (2007)
Journal Article

We show that the crystal structure of a substrate can be exploited to drive the anisotropic assembly of colloidal nanoparticles. Pentanethiol-passivated Au particles of approximately 2 nm diameter deposited from toluene onto hydrogen-passivated Si(11...

Cosmology with twisted tori (2007)
Journal Article

We consider the cosmological role of the scalar fields generated by the compactification of 11-dimensional Einstein gravity on a 7D elliptic twisted torus, which has the attractive features of giving rise to a positive semi-definite potential, and pa... Read More about Cosmology with twisted tori.

We have performed an extensive Voigt profile analysis of the neutral hydrogen (HI) and metal absorption present in a sample of 18 high resolution, high signal-to-noise QSO spectra observed with VLT/UVES. We use this analysis to separate the metal con...

Singular manifolds, topology change and the dynamics of compactification (2007)
Journal Article

We investigate the dynamics of the geometric transitions associated to compactified spacetimes. By including the dynamics of gravity we are able to follow the evolution of collapsing cycles as they attempt to undergo a topology changing transition. R...
