Projects
We help strengthen NPL's position as a world leading centre of excellence in metrology and to develop capability, in line with NPL's science and business strategies, to respond to the future requirements of NPL's customers.

- This proposal aims to build the key knowledge necessary to exploit the application of micro-bubbles in measuring externally applied fields (electro-magnetic, acoustic) within bio- and nano- devices, determining ultimately their effectiveness
- The aim of this project is to develop a novel no-moving-parts FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) system for Carbon Capture and Storage and climate-related sensing applications based on twinned asynchronous mid-IR femtosecond Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPO).
- The aim of this project is to develop robust and accurate measurements of internet security mechanisms, in a 3-year collaboration with the University of Cambridge.
- The metrological foundations underlying biomolecular structure and function are sparse and fail to keep pace with the demands of molecular medicine and the attempts to provide solutions to global health challenges such as viral epidemics, anti-microbial resistance and metastatic cancers.
- This is a collaboration project, between Imperial College London and the National Physical Laboratory, funding an EPSRC postdoctoral research assistant in organic solar cells.
- The aim of this studentship was to help position NPL to play a key role in the development of all-optical remote comparison of optical clocks between NMIs using optical fibre networks.
- This project has developed ground-breaking metrology tools, allowing demonstration of the mechanisms underpinning crack initiation and growth in nanostructured tool materials.
- The vision of this work was to develop a world leading capability for characterising the complex mechanical and structural properties of gel-like materials critical to the next generation of healthcare solutions.
- The objective of the Strategic Research Project was to establish the feasibility of developing an ultrasonic imaging technique founded on a novel means of detection of the transmitted acoustic field.

- The aim of this project was to investigate the interactions between THz photons and single electrons in electron pumps.
- Past studies (in the '70s and '80s) have shown evidence of a relationship between the exposure of patients to high noise levels in intensive care units and their recovery time.
