Research facilities
• The most powerful group of electron microscopes in the world at DTU Nanolab. nanolab.dtu.dk/english
• ESS, the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden will be the largest and most advanced neutron scattering facility in the world when it is completed. DTU is responsible for a number of areas, including developing some of the highly specialized instruments that need to be constructed for the neutron source. europeanspallationsource.se
• National centre for micro- and nanofabrication (DTU Nanolab) with 1,350 m2 cleanroom facilities. nanolab.dtu.dk/english
• Large-scale facilities for advanced structural and material testing on DTU Lyngby and DTU Risø campuses. casmat.dtu.dk
• World-class experimental platform for technology development, testing, demonstration, and training within electric power and energy. dtu.dk/powerlab
• Facilities for wind energy research include one of the biggest and most advanced wind tunnels in the world: the Poul la Cour Wind Tunnel on DTU Risø Campus, as well as two test centres on the west coast of Jutland: Høvsøre and Østerild, where it is possible to test wind turbines up to 330 metres high. dtu.dk/plct, dtu.dk/hovsore, and dtu.dk/osterild
