Industry and leading scientists gathered at Harwell Science Campus in September for the opening of a pioneering new centre for the study of nanoscale materials, set to boost the UK's world-leading science and technology infrastructure. The electron Physical Sciences Imaging Centre (ePSIC), a collaboration between Diamond Light Source, the University of Oxford and global speciality chemicals company, Johnson Matthey, contains two state-of-the-art electron microscopes for the physical sciences, designed to provide scientists with atomic level images of a range of technologically important materials. Funding for the new centre based at Diamond included contributions from the Wellcome Trust, Jeol Ltd, the Biotechnology Biological Sciences Research Council and the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
