Hear from our experts about why science matters and what they love about working in measurement science.
Environment sector
We’re using measurement to help protect our environment. We support environmental management of pollutants, including research into new contaminants of concern and greenhouse gases.
Energy sector
We support energy security including developing methods for electrical measurements, and producing internationally comparable reference gases for the natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industries.
Health sector
We use measurement to support personalised healthcare and optimal health outcomes. Our work includes producing DNA reference materials to support genetic testing in cancer patients.
