Description

Materials are being developed that are stronger, lighter, and more functional than conventional materials. The potential of exploiting a wider range of pressure could provide a path to scientific and technical breakthrough in the form of entirely new materials. With advances in nanotechnology and ever more extreme environmental conditions that can be realised in a laboratory setting, new materials and material combinations seem endless. 

The new National Facility for Relativistic Ultrafast Electron Diffraction & Imaging (RUEDI) will enable experiments at the frontiers of spatial and temporal resolution, probing the atomic and electronic structure of materials in unprecedented detail. This will give important new insight into how materials and devices perform under extremes of temperature, pressure, field and environment.
