Research
Industry need drives our research. We provide science and engineering expertise to commercial partners to solve problems and develop new high-value products.
HTS Roebel cable
We develop and manufacture high temperature superconductor Roebel cable for use in high field and accelerator magnets, transformers, generators and motors.
Magnet systems
The magnet group develops cryogen-free superconducting magnet systems for magnetic resonance applications.
Superconducting power systems
Our work on ultra-efficient aircraft, wind turbines, flywheels and transformers is helping to reduce energy waste and creating renewable energy solutions.
Robotics
Robinson’s robotics team is helping develop highly adaptable and robust robots for use in New Zealand’s rugged outdoor environments.
Magnetic sensors
Magnetic sensors have a myriad of uses, from infrastructure inspection to traffic management. Our industry-led research is exploring further applications.
Fundamental science
Fundamental research into novel electronic systems—superconductors, spintronics and hybrid materials—underpins and guides our industrial research programmes.
