SNAP decision will establish UofG as cutting-edge nano-analysis hub
Published: 1 April 2025
UKRI’s EPSRC has provided UofG with £5.3m in new funding to support the establishment of an on-campus atom probe tomography (APT) facility. The new facility, which will be called the Space Nanomaterials Atom Probe, or SNAP, will be the first of its kind in Scotland and one of just six in the UK. It will be the UK’s only facility to offer access to next-generation atom probe equipment and will be the only atom probe worldwide to specialise in space science challenges.
