CSD3 is a multi-institution service underpinned by an innovative, petascale, data-centric HPC platform, designed specifically to drive data-intensive simulation and high-performance data analysis. The service constitutes a major addition to the UK national e-infrastructure, which will enable large scale simulation and next generation data analytics capability for researchers across a broad range of disciplines. The CSD3 platform has been co-designed with DELL EMC, Intel and NVIDIA. A non...

EPMA is a non-destructive technique yielding high-precision elemental composition data of materials at micro- and nanometre scales. This union of analytical precision and spatial resolution makes EPMA unique among microanalytical techniques. Its data contributes to a variety of disciplines critical to the UK research and industrial infrastructure. These include fields as diverse as photonics, earth science resources, nuclear engineering, and high strength, high-temperature materials development...

The ESRF is a user facility driven by scientific excellence and technological innovation. It has the most intense source of synchrotron-generated light, producing X-rays 100 billion times brighter than the X-rays used in hospitals. These X-rays, are produced by the high-energy electrons that race around the storage ring, a circular tunnel measuring 844 metres in circumference. Each year, the demand to use these X-ray beams increases and near to 9000 scientists from around the world come to...

FAIR will explore the universe in the lab. Matter that usually only exists in the depths of space will be produced in a lab for the first time. FAIR is presently being built and will offer unique opportunities for research to scientists from all over the world by accelerating all elements of the periodic table plus antiprotons and providing them to the scientists in storage rings and experimental end stations. Fundamental questions of the evolution of the universe, the structure of matter and...

The Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC (ELI ERIC) is the world’s leading laser-based research infrastructure. It serves cutting-edge research in physical, chemical, materials and medical sciences, as well as breakthrough technological innovations. 

The ELI ERIC provides tremendous opportunities to scientists from the European Research Area across a broad range of disciplines. It enables immediate access to the world’s most intense and shortest-pulsed lasers. The multi-sited facility is...

UKCRIC is a world-class integrated research capability with a mission to underpin the renewal, sustainment and improvement of infrastructure and cities in the UK and elsewhere. Our research partnership, currently involving fourteen UK Higher Education Institutions, engages with government, city and commercial policy makers, investors, citizens and wider academia in a joint venture to drive innovation and value creation in the exploitation of services provided by national infrastructure.
