Our Research
The diversity of the science undertaken on the STFC facilities and programmes spans many areas that are important both to the citizen's quality of life and the desire to understand how our world and universe work.
The range of science is wide: from the study of the fundamental physics of elementary particles to taking forward our knowledge and monitoring of medical conditions such as arthritis, surfactant development on the lungs of premature babies, and the ongoing desire to understand protein structures and functionality.
Alongside these experiments might be investigations into the new thin film magnets for data storage, identification of archaeological specimens, stress analysis of aircraft wings and much more, including fundamental scientific explorations.
Science Roadmap
The first version of the new Science Roadmap (link opens in a new window) sets out the current projects which STFC supports in the particle physics, nuclear physics and astronomy programme, along with future opportunities for investment in these areas, and shows how they address a range of science challenges.
STFC is currently developing the other aspects of the STFC Science Roadmap, specifically relating to the physical and life sciences and to STFC’s facilities, and these projects will be included in due course.
