Lab

10th January 2025

Ovens, furnaces, hydraulic press, and ultra high purity gas (and lab coats). That's all we need to start solid state synthesis of pressed powder pellets.

12th December 2024

This is the day we were officially handed the keys to the lab. Let the installations commence!

31st October 2024

New blinds, new Lista drawers, tables, a mini clean room! And even a floor underneath!

4th October 2024

Walls are in place. Next steps are floor and ceiling (we guess). Photos are, from left to right, the future group office, the place where the 14 Tesla magnet will go, and the window between the synthesis lab and the characterisation lab.

6th September 2024

The walls are beginning to be constructed but, for now, you can still walk through them.

2nd May 2024

Demolition is finished, there are no internal walls anymore. So much room for activities! Jen never expected to have a lab with windows so one with floor-to-ceiling windows is *really* nice.

22nd April 2024

We want quite an open space with as much natural light as possible so the team got straight to work by taking down the internal walls. We also didn't want a dropped ceiling so that's gone too and it won't be coming back (ask Jen one day where the strong feelings on this topic come from). Here's also a map of where the lab will be, on the ground floor of the Catalysis Center. The star marks Cook Hall, where the MSE Department office is located, and where my Jen's office will be. Through a series of bridges we don't even have to go outside!

22nd March 2024

Jen will be taking over a space that was the lab of Laurie Marks for many years. Turning an electron microscopy lab into a synthesis/magnet lab is going to be a big challenge but we have a great team. First step was to empty out all the old equipment, only large things remain that have to be removed by specialists.
