Projects
- The Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS), now shut and in the process of being decommissioned.
- HPCx, a supercomputer.
- ALICE (accelerator), an electron accelerator previously known as ERLP (Energy Recovery Linac Prototype).
- EMMA (accelerator) an electron accelerator experiment based on the FFAG accelerator concept.
- The New Light Source, a project which has evolved from the previous 4GLS project.
- MEIS, a medium energy ion scattering facility, used to perform depth profiling and quantitative surface structure determination experiments (situated in the tower complex visible in the photo).
- The national centre for electron spectroscopy and surface analysis (NCESS), which has a high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy machine to probe near-surface chemical composition.
- SuperSTEM, a high resolution aberration-corrected STEM.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
