Discover the research services we offer to the wider University and beyond
Some of the activities in the Department involve substantive collaborations with other Departments and/or span the interests of number of Groups in the Department. The Programmes below all involve collaborative research and teaching, which help expand the research of the Department into new areas in which Physics can make substantive innovative contributions.
Collaborative R&D Environment (CORDE)
CORDE is the national facility for physics. Supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (UKRI), it gives university and industry researchers across the UK access to our equipment, resources and expertise. CORDE supports flexible nanofabrication and characterisation, with tools such as electron beam lithography, Molecular Beam Epitaxy growth, atom scattering, electron ion beam microscopy, and XPS material analysis. View the full equipment list on the CORDE website.
The Centre for Scientific Computing
The Centre for Scientific Computing runs academic programmes and short courses for Continuous Professional Development (CPD). It encompasses the Laboratory for Scientific Computing, which runs groundbreaking research and industry-academia programmes with real-world impact.
Physics of Medicine
The Physics of Medicine (PoM) building is a dynamic hub of research at the intersection of biology and medicine, and offers access to the extensive research facilities to external users.
Cavendish Technical Services
Our workshop team is specialised in full product design, development and manufacturing of precision scientific equipment’s for physics research requirements, for the benefit of the Department, other Universities and industry.
Henry Royce Institute at Cambridge
The Henry Royce Institute, known as Royce, is the UK's national institute for advanced materials science research and innovation. Royce at the University of Cambridge, known as Royce at Cambridge, is one of Royce’s nine partners.
