We undertake pioneering studies with “metamaterials” in the visible, terahertz, microwave and acoustic regimes and are developing new designs for RF-ID, anti-counterfeiting, and sound proofing technologies. Our researchers are studying sub-nanosecond magnetic processes for the reduction of access times in data storage systems, and are enhancing the functionality of "spintronic" devices.
Collaborations
We have a long and successful history of working with industry and Government, and welcome new collaborations, large or small.
Research facilities
Our laboratories are equipped with the latest nanofabrication facilities and measurement apparatus.
