Events at the Henry Royce Institute
And from around the Materials Community
01 October 2019 - 02 October 2019
9:30 am - 5:00 pm
Join the Royce’s latest workshop to learn more about research in the field, and how it is underpinned by infrastructure and accessible equipment based at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) and the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC).
Day 2 will feature a special workshop on Nano Infrared Spectroscopy, led by Dr Aravind Vijayaraghavan and Bruker, manufacturers of the Royce’s NanoIR3 system.
Event Type: Workshop
Lead Partner:University of Manchester
Location: National Graphene Institute
02 October 2019
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
This focused workshop, in collaboration with Bruker, provides a hands-on introduction to one of the latest characterisation capabilities for 2D and other advanced materials: Nano Infrared Spectroscopy.
The Bruker NanoIR3 systems couple Atomic Force Microscopy with Infrared Spectroscopy capability, enabling nanoscale resolutions together with topological, thermal and electrical analysis.

This symposium marks the opening of the Royce Battery Suite. This suite of equipment is available on open access for the manufacturing and processing of battery materials. It includes a glove box, planetary mixer, centrifuge, freeze dryer, shear mixer, reactor synthesis, digestion reactor and rotary evaporator.
Hydrogen is experiencing an unprecedented momentum, driven by climate-friendly and energy-safety policies. However, due to its peculiar physical-chemical properties, material compatibility issues arise: hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen permeation, mechanical integrity at cryogenic temperatures and water vapour corrosion.
The event will provide a chance for PhD students to connect with peers working in materials science disciplines and experience a ‘sandpit’ format often used by research councils and funders to stimulate new lines of thinking for tackling complex research challenges. Participants will be tasked with exploring a set scientific topic, working within a team to identify the challenges faced within the application area, and then exercising their own expertise to devise novel proposals and solutions. These intensive proposal-forming environments encourage the creation of new collaborations, identification of barriers to success and mitigation of conflicting approaches.
Dr Chris Hamlett, National Outreach Officer for Discover Materials, will discuss his pathway through materials science and into outreach in the latest Stand Out Skills Webinar. He will expand on how his multidisciplinary research background in chemistry and physics helped on his path to making a career around inspiring the next generation of materials scientists.
