Relativistic Ultrafast Electron and Diffraction Imaging facility (RUEDI)
RUEDI will be a truly unique instrument. Its ultrafast capabilities will allow structural changes in material to be observed and measured in time-resolved experiments for the first time. RUEDI will support multi-disciplinary research with five scientific themes – Dynamics of…

Cryo-ptycho-tomography
Developing a novel technique using cryo-electron ptychography to perform tomographic characterisation of biological processes at cellular scales, enabling detailed study of rare and complex structures in their native environments.

Fast Spectroscopy
We study how light can trigger changes in biomolecules to activate biological functions using different spectroscopic methods.

Cellular Compartmentalisation and Condensate Formation from Biology to Physical-Chemistry
The cellular environment is a complex mix of biomolecules that organize themselves to carry out vital physiological cell processes.

Multidimensional Imaging of Molecular Structures
Our aim: To develop new technologies to see the molecules of life and their dynamics with unprecedented detail.
