Diamond Light Source

Diamond Light Source is a new scientific facility in South Oxfordshire on the Harwell Chilton science campus. This giant machine, called a synchrotron, can be described as a series of "super microscopes". It is housed in a futuristic doughnut-shaped building which covers the area of 5 football pitches. Diamond will ultimately host up to 40 cutting edge research stations, called beamlines, supporting the life, physical and environmental sciences

Science and Technology Facilities Council (formerly Science and Technology Facilities Council )

Formed by Royal Charter in 2007 (by combining Science and Technology Facilities Council and PPARC), the Science and Technology Facilities Council is one of Europe's largest multidisciplinary research organisations supporting scientists and engineers world-wide. The Council operates world-class, large scale research facilitiesand provides strategic advice to the government on their development. It also manages international research projects in support of a broad cross-section of the UK research community. The Council also directs, coordinates and funds research, education and training.
