The Lecture
The UK’s large-scale, multi-disciplinary facilities based at STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory provide capabilities to observe phenomena down to the atomic scale. These facilities are deployed by an extensive user community to provide unique insights into materials properties and behaviours across a broad range of disciplines encompassing advanced materials, quantum materials, health and life sciences and heritage science. The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and STFC’s other national laboratories also host technology, engineering and compute capability that supports and enables many of the UK’s space, astronomy and particle physics research programmes. In this lecture Dr Roger Eccleston will present examples of ways in which STFC’s facilities and laboratories provide the capability to see well beyond the visible spectrum to observe the very small and the very big, and unlock the secret of the universe.
