Our initial research into silicon microelectronic devices has progressed to fabrication and engineering at the nanometre-length scale, to produce small, integrated systems on chips. This includes the creation and characterisation of new metamaterials, and the study of biomimetics, which aims to apply evolutionary solutions from the natural world to optical and mechanical problems.
Our new £100 million Mountbatten Building is one of the leading multidisciplinary clean room facilities in Europe.
