20th March – Materials Challenges in Nuclear Energy – Dr Alex Carruthers

High levels of radiation make nuclear reactors a uniquely challenging environment for the materials that they’re built from. But Why? The short answer is; radiation tends to make metals weak and brittle. But again, why? In this free science event,… Read More »20th March – Materials Challenges in Nuclear Energy – Dr Alex Carruthers

21st November: Terahertz Radiation – a new tool for scientists and engineers – Dr Darren Graham

The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which lies between microwave and infrared, offers a number of exciting opportunities for scientists and engineers. Already we are seeing new airport security scanners, medical diagnostics, tools for process monitoring in manufacturing,… Read More »21st November: Terahertz Radiation – a new tool for scientists and engineers – Dr Darren Graham
