We have some of the best Research Facilities, Laboratories and Resources in the world. Find out more about how the School of Engineering can help you with your Research, whether that be for study or business.
The Advanced Adsorption Lab houses the following list of equipment for the purpose of characterising porous materials and undertaking adsorption experiments:
The Atomic Force Microscopy Facility at the University of Edinburgh houses a Bruker JPK NanoWizard 4XP and JPK CellHesion 200 AFM for the structural, mechanical and surface characterisation of samples across a range of environmental conditions.
This facility is available to all researchers across the university as well as external users from other universities and industry.
The Bioimaging Facility at Edinburgh University offers both multiphoton imaging and spectral characterisation for a wide range of samples from both biological and material sciences. This service is available to staff, students and external users.
The Engineering Makerspace is a dedicated workspace where students can design, build and test their own engineering models and inventions. Co-run by the School of Engineering and Edinburgh Innovations, it is home to a community of student inventors, from first years to PhD students.
FastBlade is the world’s first test facility that uses regenerative hydraulic technology to offer high-quality, low-cost fatigue testing of tidal blades and other composite structures for research and product development.
