Centre for Accelerator Science

The Centre for Accelerator Science is a research facility that uses advanced particle accelerators—machines that speed up particles to very high energies—to study materials and develop new technologies. These accelerators enable scientists to explore the structure of matter at the atomic and molecular levels, improve medical imaging and cancer treatments, and create innovative materials. The center's work advances scientific knowledge and supports industries such as healthcare, defense, and manufacturing by providing specialized tools and expertise in accelerator technology.
