SLAB was established in 2018 under the leadership of the Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences in partnership with the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) and the city of Dongguan, with an initial construction funding of RMB ¥5 billion (approx. US $750M). The laboratory is located adjacent to CSNS in Dongguan, China, about an hour and a half north of Hong Kong. SLAB aims at building a world-class materials research center and becoming a window of opening and collaboration for the greater Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao bay area. Its area of research will encompass both fundamental and applied aspects of materials sciences. Additionally, SLAB encourages the commercialization of mature technologies developed at the lab. Examples of SLAB’s research include, but not limited to, superconducting, quantum, magnetic, and low dimensional materials; flexible materials; biomedical & chemical materials; metallic, ceramic, and polymer materials etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>To support the research programs at SLAB and in China in general, SLAB is building up a neutron scattering sciences platform as one of its core competencies.
