Project overview
Funding:
?3.2 million over the next three years, ?3.2 million from the Infrastructure Fund in total including future funding years.
Project start date: financial year 2022 to 2023.
About the project:
This conceptual design study will explore different options to provide access to a second generation XFEL capability for UK science and innovation.
XFELs are large machines that produce coherent X-rays and can be used to study matter simultaneously on spatial and temporal scales.
Such capability allows for a wide range of cutting edge multidisciplinary applications across science and technology, for instance:
- bioscience and healthcare: mapping atomic details of viruses and supporting drug discovery
- net zero growth: providing new approaches for low-cost energy generation and storage technologies
- technology: developing new and advanced materials with direct applicability to:
- industry
- mobility
- digital manufacturing
- nuclear energy
- defense
- fundamental science:offering new processes to study the interior of planets.
