CASE STUDIES
Finding cheaper and more sustainable ceramic glazes using data science
Through the Innovate UK BridgeAI programme, Box O Fun worked with STFC Hartree Centre to develop a tool that will help ceramicists easily find alternative glazes that reduce costs and waste while maintaining desired glaze properties.
Accelerating materials discovery
Funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Commercial Pump Priming Fund, the Hartree Centre developed Hartree-MaDE, a new computational tool for materials discovery
Application of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to the Resonant Acoustic Mixing of Complex, Highly Filled Composites
Lewtas Science & Technologies are improving the safety and speed of mixing energetic materials together with the help of computational models, through support from the Hartree Centre and STFC’s Bridging for Innovators programme.
Accelerating the development of unique materials using computer modelling
Funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Bridging for Innovators programme, the Hartree Centre worked with material specialists Lucideon to accelerate the development of novel ceramics.
Solving technical challenges to build fuel cells of the future
The STFC Hartree Centre has provided SME ACAL Energy with the supercomputing capability they required to gain a better insight into their fuel cell technology, enabling them to solve a technical performance problem.
