Dark matter and lasers at Harwell campus get Government grants
The Government is investing the millions in the Harwell science campus near Didcot. The money will help scientists to search for dark matter, test satellites before launch and support work on 'quantum interferometry projects'. The investment in the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) at Harwell includes £1 million for a Strontium Source Laboratory to allow work on cold-atom sensors and instruments. This will support work on quantum projects recently described as a 'future priority infrastructure' for the UK, and act as a local testing ground for larger-scale devices to be delivered ...
