Electron Physical Science Imaging Centre Launch Event

摘要

An invitation-only event was held from 5th–6th September 2016 to launch the new state-of-the-art imaging facility, opened on 5th September 2016, which will see the University of Oxford, UK, Johnson Matthey Plc, UK, and Diamond Light Source, UK, in close collaboration on the study of nanoscale materials. The ePSIC is located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, UK, and was officially opened by Sir John Meurig Thomas from the University of Cambridge, UK, alongside senior representatives from both Johnson Matthey and Diamond Light Source. Sir John is a world renowned expert in materials and surface chemistry, having authored over a thousand research papers, co-authored 30 patents and, in 1991, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to chemistry and the popularisation of science” (1,?2).
