Super microscope and sensors scoop cash

Research examining how economic, social and biological factors combine to explain human behaviour, and new technology to map magnetic fields across 바카라사이트 universe, are among projects to be funded with ?397 million of government money.

Details of nine multidisciplinary projects that will be supported through 바카라사이트 Large Facilities Capital Fund were announced this week.

They include ?92.5 million for 바카라사이트 Diamond Light Source scientific facility in Oxfordshire, a "super microscope" housed in a building covering 바카라사이트 area of five football pitches, which generates intense light used by scientists to investigate different materials.

The Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus in Cheshire will receive a total of ?65 million for a a new computer science centre and a research facility to develop sensors.

Ian Pearson, Minister for Science and Innovation, said 바카라사이트 Government was committed to developing Daresbury as an international centre of expertise in science and innovation.

He said: "Today's announcement is proof that 바카라사이트 future for 바카라사이트 site is an exciting one. Computational science and engineering is now indispensable to 바카라사이트 solution of complex problems in every sector. This ranges from traditional science and engineering domains to key areas such as national security, public health and economic innovation."

The LFCF provides additional money to priority projects identified by 바카라사이트 UK research councils.
