Royce at Imperial is a hub for both industry and academia to make, test and characterise materials, components and systems. Take your research to the next level with our capabilities in thin film deposition, patterning and milling, electrical testing, and advanced characterisation techniques.

The ‘Atoms to Devices’ (A2D) research area is the focus for Royce at Imperial. Our vision is to work alongside other Royce A2D partners to provide cross-disciplinary technology platforms to facilitate and support the accelerated discovery and development of new device materials. Through the deposition of precisely controlled thin films, the engineering of interfaces, and the ability to control doping on the nanoscale, A2D enables the development of new devices and technological solutions that have diverse applications in society.

Imperial’s research supports applications such as electronic materials for the energy transition to meet net zero carbon targets by 2050, including research into photovoltaics, calorics and thermoelectrics, and low-loss electronics. Other applications include efficient catalysts to support hydrogen generation, chargeless electronics, new computing architectures, quantum technologies, and bioelectronic sensors to support personalised healthcare and clinical assessment.
