Three Sheffield Hallam University MERI PhD students, have begun working with the United States' Department of Energy on a project to help with the clean-up of a US nuclear plant undergoing decommissioning.

A spin-out business called XeraCarb created by Sheffield Hallam University to commercialise novel high performance and low cost ceramic materials is benefiting from significant new investment to take its technology into production

We deliver materials analysis services to all industries which have materials based needs. All services are provided by experts from within Sheffield Hallam University, using a range of state-of-the-art instruments and techniques

With significant expertise in materials characterisation methods we can solve industrial problems in a wide range of materials systems, using the state-of-the-art analysis techniques available in the Research Institute.

A complete service is carried out for the glass industry from analysing the raw materials including sand, limestone, dolomite, soda ash, glass cullet, borax etc. to the finished product and also waste dusts.

The Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI) of Sheffield Hallam University are holding a Ceramics and Glass Networking event on Wednesday the 29th November.

A new generation of durable sensors capable of monitoring commercial nuclear fusion reactors in real time is being developed by UK researchers

Ronak started her PhD at SHU in 2014 in the field of sol-gel chemistry and energy storage. Her PhD was focused on sol-gel fabrication of ionogel electrolytes for double-layer supercapacitors. Following her PhD, Ronak used her background in sol-gel chemistry to enter the field of biomaterials by researching into bioactive glass ceramics for healthcare applications. She is currently part of the iPSpine project which aims to design a novel therapy for chronic lower back pain related to disc degeneration.
