nmCS in Action

The nmRC Commercial Services team is eager to help with your  materials analytical challenges. Have a look below at a range of case studies showcasing the materials analytical capabilities at the nmRC and wider UoN, and how they have been deployed to solve a number of industrial problems or collaborative research projects

Could we offer insight on or help answer your problem? Could we work with you to engage in a groundbreaking project? To see if the expertise or facilities at the nmRC can benefit you or your initiative please get in touch.
