Each year around 20 million tonnes of sand and gravel is extracted from UK waters for use in the construction and building industry.
The majority of the United Kingdoms radioactive waste, approximately 95%, originates from the nuclear power industry (Defra, 2004).
Optical microscopes, such as confocal and epifluorescence, are limited to resolutions of approximately 200 nm in the imaging plane owing to the diffraction barrier of light.
We have developed a novel nanoscale probe for simultaneous SECM-SICM imaging, which can be fabricated in only a few minutes and for a fraction of the cost of current probes.
The most common antennas used for communication systems, and measurements of electric fields are dipole and monopole wire antennas.
SERS (Surface enhanced Raman scattering) is a spectroscopic technique arising from the enhancement of Raman scattering through molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces.
The aim of this project is to develop a multi-terahertz (THz) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) tunable over 3 THz to 10 THz.- The spatial uniformity of transmittance of most optical components evaluated was shown to exhibit fine structure which may introduce significant uncertainties in high accuracy radiometric measurements.
A new Technical Working Group under VAMAS (Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards) to investigate quantitative microstructural analysis has approved a series of round robins to measure grain size in a range of materials.
Research and consultancy on thermal properties for a wide range of materials, from -170 °C to 2000 °C, under controlled atmospheres.
The aim of this project is to develop a multi-terahertz (THz) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) tunable over 3 THz to 10 THz.

Light microscopes have a resolution limit of around 250 nanometres (nm), which means anything smaller will appear blurred.
Photoelectrochemical activity screening of dyes on TiO2 surfaces is becoming increasingly relevant as industry tries to expand commercialisation of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
