The Liverpool Magnetic Resonance Imaging Centre (LiMRIC) is part of Liverpool Shared Research Facilities (LIV-SRF) at the University of Liverpool. 

LiMRIC has a Siemens Prisma 3T MR scanner, underpinned by the infrastructure and academic/technical expertise to support a wide range of human MR-based research, including neuroimaging, cardiac and body imaging, musculoskeletal MRI and MR spectroscopy.  

LiMRIC is available to both internal users and NHS/commercial partners, and can offer...

A collection of internet of things (IoT) sensors and other environmental and infrastructure monitoring equipment providing real-time data from city systems, infrastructure an the environment.  Currently over 3500 live data streams.  Data is streamed into an open data system and is immediately available for download or visualisation through an open data platform.  Observations are taken across over 60 different indicators including air quality, traffic, energy, weather, people movement etc. ...

The Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub (aka QCS Hub) is a collaboration between 17 UK universities and is one of four hubs within the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme.

Working with an extensive network of academic, industrial and governmental partners, we are focused on the critical research challenges for quantum computing, across a broad range of hardware and software disciplines.

As well as addressing the technical challenges in providing quantum computing and simulation at...

Researchers at the University of Hull have recently started to explore how to alleviate heat stress in women exercising in hot conditions. The work, led by Dr Andrew Garrett will investigate how females respond and adapt to hot conditions, using a short-term heat acclimation regime that they have previously, successfully, used with male participants only (http://theconversation.com/elite-training-in-hot-conditions-for-competition-in-cooler-climates-a-hot-topic-45012). The facility is important...

There is insufficient intelligence about how the family justice system in Wales and England is working, the children and families using these services, and their wider outcomes beyond their involvement with the family court. The Family Justice Data Partnership (funded by the Nuffield Foundation) has therefore been established comprising a bespoke data platform – hosted within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank – and analytical teams at Swansea and Lancaster University.

The Nuclear AMRC helps UK manufacturers win work across the nuclear sector – in new build, operations and decommissioning – and in other low-carbon industries. Its facilities and services are open to all.

The centre's engineers and sector specialists work with companies to develop innovative techniques and optimised processes for large-scale high-precision manufacturing. Companies can use the Nuclear AMRC's state-of-the-art workshops to develop and test new processes on production-scale...

The National Phenome Centre, initially funded by a 5 year grant from the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and led by Imperial College London and King’s College London, was founded in 2012 to deliver access to a world-class capability in metabolic phenotyping, to benefit the whole UK translational medicine community.

The Centre’s establishment enables us to take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity offered by the legacy of the 2012...

Since it's foundation in 2006, the Institute has been bringing together technologists, creative practitioners and researchers across discipline areas to develop truly innovative transdisciplinary creative technologies practice and research. The IOCT makes and shares new knowledge and expertise, synthesising practice based research with pioneering advances in digital computing, information technologies, creative practice, science and engineering. Work made falls across four interdisciplinary...
