Engineering underpins so much of the ground-breaking science that happens at STFC and around the world. Not only do our engineers drive forward incredible technological breakthroughs, but at every stage of their career they are solving creative and rewarding challenges.
What do you associate the word “engineering” with? Construction? Electronics? Maths? The list could go on and on, but in all likelihood it would be some time before you’d arrive at “neutrons”.
On the 3 August 2018, STFC's ISIS Neutron and Muon Source celebrates a very special occasion – exactly ten years since the first neutrons were detected in the INTER beamline, the first instrument to be completed as part of the Second Target Station (TS2) project.
Think science is just a boring school subject? Think again. There's a world beyond the classroom waiting to be explored, and science could be your ticket to a lifetime of adventure.
Galaxies, planets, and colliding stars... ever looked up and wondered where it all comes from and if we are alone in the universe?
High-resolution biomolecular images are vital for understanding disease, and developing new drugs and vaccines.
