Small items of research equipment at Swansea University for an Interdisciplinary Launch-Laboratory

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We propose the creation of a 'Launch-Laboratory'. This will be an open access facility, equipped with a wide range of test and measurement equipment, allowing mechanical, chemical, electrical and optical characterisation of materials and devices. The laboratory will provide an environment in which early career researchers can meet, develop ideas, test concepts and carry out initial research studies. The work of the laboratory will link to the portfolio of EPSRC funded projects at Swansea in Advanced Manufacturing, bringing forward new concepts, created through the interaction of researchers working on fundamental science and basic technology with engineers developing innovative manufacturing systems.
