Research and innovation

Our research is focussed on the fundamental development of scientific and mathematical knowledge, and its application to meet the needs of industry and the consumer.

From the Nobel Prize winning work of WH and WL Bragg on crystallography, carried out over a century ago, to current research in the fields of quantum cryptography, medical imaging, pharmaceutical science and digital printing, our research impacts on many aspects of daily life, from diet and health to financial security and lifestyle choices.
