UK centre for advanced X-ray technology
A Newcastle University based state-of-the-art X-ray facility that will help engineers to discover new sources of green power was officially opened on 7th October by EPSRC Chief Executive Professor Dave Delpy.
XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) is a powerful probe that is used to provide information about the physical, chemical and electrical properties of any surface at an atomic level. EPSRC selected Newcastle University as the UK provider of the National XPS service, NEXUS, which is headed by MSE’s Professor Peter Cumpson.
“The fact that we have won this contract is a reflection of the excellent, world-leading research taking place here at Newcastle University and we are extremely grateful to EPSRC for giving us this opportunity,” said Prof Cumpson.
