Applied Materials nano-Thin Films Laboratory becomes fully functional

The nano-thin films teaching laboratory within the Applied Materials Laboratory at the University of Portsmouth becomes fully operational. This is a major teaching facility that will deliver at least 2-3 student projects per year, as well as PhD and MSc/Mres research work.
