Behind our world-leading science and engineering are our people. Today marks the beginning of our Stronger Together, Everyone Matters campaign where we'll be highlighting the unique experiences and perspectives of the diverse people of NPL. These stories come from across our organisation and the underrepresented groups in our sector. As our people share their stories, we hope to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals.

Creating impact from science and engineering.
About us
NPL is the UK’s National Metrology Institute, providing the measurement capability that underpins the UK's prosperity and quality of life. From new antibiotics to tackle resistance and more effective cancer treatments, to secure quantum communications and superfast 5G, technological advances must be built on a foundation of reliable measurement to succeed. Building on over a century’s worth of expertise, our science, engineering and technology provides this foundation. We save lives, protect the environment and enable citizens to feel safe and secure, as well as support international trade and commercial innovation. As a national laboratory, our advice is always impartial and independent, meaning consumers, investors, policymakers and entrepreneurs can always rely on the work we do.

Our Measurement for Quantum (M4Q) programme has propelled 50 UK-based quantum technology companies toward market readiness by addressing their specific and most pressing technological and business challenges. Programme users have reported improved product performance through data insights, others have used the M4Q research to optimise their manufacturing processes. The process enhances business value by providing reliable measurement and testing, increasing investor interest and instilling creator confidence. Learn how our M4Q programme can add value to your business here: https://lnkd.in/dD5XZ3j2

Last week, we had a wonderful time hosting CERN, celebrating 70 years of a strategic relationship between our organisations. We were also delighted to welcome the Government Chief Scientific Adviser Dame Angela Mclean to meet with our scientists and discuss the impact our science delivers for the UK. We look forward to continuing our collaborations with CERN and celebrating our partnership again in the future.

This week we are in Hamburg for the International Measurement Confederation’s (IMEKOs) 24th world congress. We will be convening with world leading metrologists to give insight into diverse and innovative fields of metrology. On Tuesday 27 August, we will be hosting the TC25 Quantum Technology workshop with local hub, Hamburg Quantum Innovation Capital, and some of their industrial and research partners. The workshop will see pitches, presentations, and an exhibition to highlight the various activities of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) in the field of quantum technologies. Two National Physical Laboratory Principal Scientists will be delivering talks throughout the week. Ivan Rungger will be presenting on standardised metrics and benchmarks for quantum computers, Tuesday 27 at 16:05 (CEST) in Hall 4, and John Devaney on the establishment of ISO/IEC/JTC 3 quantum technologies, Wednesday 28 at 11:15 (CEST) in the Freiburg Hall. Attend one of our talks or visit our exhibit at the Quantum Technology workshop to learn more about our role as the UK's NMI: https://lnkd.in/dZTawkXf

Watch our Principal Scientist Dr Manoj Stanley's talk on ‘Microwave Metrology for Quantum Computers’ from the Q2B conference in Tokyo in July, The Roadmap to Quantum Value.
Sharing my talk in Q2B 2024, Tokyo on "Microwave metrology for Quantum Computing". Microwave metrology is a key enabler for accelerating commercialisation of quantum technologies such as quantum computing. Q2B 2024 was a well organised event with talks from leaders in quantum technologies. It was good to listen to latest updates in quantum computing from industry titans. #quantum #npl #quantum computing #microwave #metrology https://lnkd.in/eyKwk9dH

We have recently commissioned several new measurement systems to better understand the high voltage performance of multilayer printed circuit boards. Based on previous conductive anodic filament failure testing, we have extended testing to 3 kV and will compare results with previous testing at lower voltages in our upcoming Electronics Reliability webinar. 18 September | 14:30 – 15:30 (UTC) | Find out more and register now: https://bit.ly/3YO3QBq
