Yesterday, our outgoing Exec Chair Mark Thomson had his last Daresbury visit. Pre-STFC, Mark was co-leader of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. So we sent him to pastures new with a model of a DUNE anode plane assembly - which our experts build here on site!

The @hartreecentre has partnered up with @IBM and @UKAEAOfficial, to work on designing future experimental fusion powerplants. Find out more about the collaboration here: ukri.org/news/a-new-par…

Colleagues from @OfficialUoM visited Daresbury Laboratory this week, guests of the @cockcroft_news and STFC. Duncan Ivison, the University's President and Vice Chancellor, along with senior members of the physics group, toured facilities including the DUNE APA facility and CLARA.

We had the privilege of welcoming @AHRCPress to @SciTecDaresbury for the launch of the RICHeS programme. Learn more about this programme, and how bringing RICHeS onto campus will put heritage science at the heart of research and innovation ▶️▶️ youtu.be/o2yBJKvPP8Y?si…

Yesterday, Paul Vernon signed a memorandum of understanding at the Liverpool City Region AI Summit. The agreement is to develop Meta Liverpool: a digital testing ground so that the impacts of policies can be explored before they are deployed. Read more: liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

A manuscript submitted by colleagues at Daresbury Lab and UoM to the Journal of Chemical Physics has been chosen as Editor's Pick! Congrats as your research on dissipative particle dynamics and polarizable solvents takes centre stage👏 Read the work here: pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

Led by Senior SRF Engineer Anna Shabalina, Daresbury Lab's project team are preparing the first High-Beta 650 MHz accelerator cavities, produced by @ResearchZanon, for the PIP-II project at @Fermilab. This could be the cleanest PIP-II 650 MHz jacketed cavity in the world.🎉

Happy Dark Matter Day! ☄️ Take a look at our award winning Dark Matter Garden. This beautiful living sculpture helps us understand the concept and makes the invisible visible! Learn more about the connection between art and science at STFC: medium.com/big-science-at…

Congratulations to Paul Vernon, Head of Daresbury Laboratory, who has been named in the Northern Leaders list for 2024 for his outstanding work here at STFC. Bravo! 👏👏👏 linkedin.com/posts/business…

A prototype accelerator cavity being used to test equipment ahead of a major project at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory has recorded results so good that it’s had the ultimate seal of approval – reclassification! linkedin.com/pulse/cavity-c…

📮 Special delivery! We recently took delivery of a very important shipment from CERN. This marks the start of the build of four cryomodules for the Large Hadron Collider upgrade. Find out more over on our LinkedIn page: linkedin.com/pulse/copy-lhc…
