We are located in a spacious, purposedesigned building which has been upgraded to modern specifications and provides excellent support and facilities for research. Recent infrastructure upgrades include new nanofabrication facilities and a femtosecond laser facility. Technical support is provided by well-equipped and skillfully staffed workshops, and by specialist research technicians. A senior experimental officer provides high-level IT support. We also offer a helium liquefier producing 55,000 litres of liquid helium per year, materials processing and clean rooms. The addition of a 14 TFlop/s supercomputer has given us one of the most powerful computing facilities in the UK.
The recent Multi-million pound investment in facilities includes £5 million to establish the Centre of Graphene Science and funding of £3 million to commercialise our anti-counterfeiting and electromagnetic materials research.
