SuperFab is an electronic device nanofabrication facility based at Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, Surrey. The facility specialises in superconducting and hybrid quantum circuits, especially quantum computing and quantum limited sensing, but also with wider capability. Nanofabrication tools and capabilities available include electron-beam lithography (JEOL JBX8100-FS), Optical lithography (4Pico laserwriter), He/Ne imaging and focussed-ion-beam milling (Zeiss ORION Nanofab)...

Specialised and regulated facilities for the manufacture of Class II & III medical devices for first-in-human studies in the UK.

MAISI is a national facility for the Manufacture of Active Implants and Surgical Instruments, located at St Thomas’ MedTech Hub. We aim to streamline the clinical translation of healthcare engineering research and address the lack of specialised and regulated manufacturing facilities within healthcare settings. Our dedicated manufacturing cleanrooms and regulatory...

to what it does The National Reference Collection is a collection of biotic crop threats, and is the UK’s first fully comprehensive collection of plant associated and pathogenic fungi and bacteria, agricultural weeds, nematodes, pest insects and crop samples of importance to UK agriculture. It will be accessible through searchable databases which will help identify crop pathogens and enable the monitoring of their spread. to research/innovation goals and objectives The reference collection will...

Data science - Intelligent and effective use of data

From mapping the spread of disease to monitoring climate change, data holds the key to solving some of the world's biggest challenges. It also promises to deliver improved productivity, helping companies streamline their processes, make improvements and maximise their output. Dependable decisions rely on understanding the provenance and reliability of data.

Our data scientists are working to help organisations analyse and use data...

Things Connected has established several city-wide and regional Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) deployments based on LoRaWAN and Sigfox technologies, with associated IT infrastructure. These facilities, with associated innovation programmes, enable innovation and experimentation with the technology, at scale, for academic and UK business, to enable the development of new LPWAN based solutions and explore their benefits with potential adopters through trial activities and pilots. We believe...

Dimensional metrology - providing expertise and capability in length and angle measurement

Measurement of 'length' includes distance, displacement, position, dimensions, size, area, volume and surface texture. It is a fundamental requirement in most engineering and manufacturing industries and a critical part in many science experiments and facilities. Together with measurement of angles, NPL's expertise in dimensional measurement covers over 12 orders of magnitude. From our highest...

Electrochemistry - working to secure a sustainable energy infrastructure for tomorrow

Our scientists apply specialist measurement expertise to accelerate development of energy conversion and storage technologies and underpin integrity of critical energy infrastructure. We support the commercialisation of energy conversion and storage technologies such as batteries and fuel cells, helping to build a greener and more sustainable infrastructure to power industry and society in the future...
