Scitech Precision Ltd., a company which combines unique expertise in micro engineering and design, to make ultra-precise parts for laser experiments is being launched.

The spin-out from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) supplies complex, multi-material assemblies or “targets” for high power laser experiments on large scale laser facilities in the UK and abroad. These micron scale targets act as the “sample” for investigations into the physics of extreme conditions comparable to temperatures and pressures at the centre of the sun, and are at the forefront of research into laser-induced fusion as a potential energy source and particle beam therapies for cancer treatment.
