The Kroto Research Institute is a major UK research facility for engineering science at the interfaces between Molecular Science, Engineering Application and Social Impact. World-class researchers, laboratory facilities and advanced instrumentation align with three broad interdisciplinary themes within the institute. These are
- Biomedical Engineering with Translational Medicine
- Global Soils and Water
- Imaging and Microscopy from Molecules to Manufacturing
The ethos of multidisciplinary research is embodied in the joint research between institute teams that is not possible within individual departments and faculties. This unique research environment is created by the co-location of university research centres who combine their strengths in tackling major interdisciplinary research challenges. This approach provides important interfaces for research between Engineering and other Faculties, within The University of Sheffield and worldwide.
Research cohesion across the 3 themes is provided by shared, world-class imaging and analytical instrumentation in Advanced Electron Microscopy, X-Ray and Vibrational Spectroscopy and Confocal Microscopy.

The Global Educational Outreach (GEO) programme provides free educational resources to teachers in schools and colleges. Sciencewords provides a forum for scientists to improve the public understanding and enjoyment of the leading edge scientific research through the use of scientific images and plain English text.
We have a range of facilities available:
