Ar 8 Chwefror, agorodd y Prif Weinidog y Ganolfan Dur a Metalau newydd ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Bydd y Ganolfan, sydd wedi'i chefnogi gan gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru o ychydig dros £2 filiwn, yn galluogi busnesau ledled Cymru i gydweithio i ddatblygu cynnyrch a phrosesau newydd yn ogystal â chynyddu nifer yr ymchwilwyr sy'n cael eu cyflogi yng Nghymru gan fusnesau sy'n defnyddio'r cyfleusterau.
On 8 February, the First Minister opened the new Steel and Metals Institute in Swansea University.  The Institute, which has been supported with Welsh Government funding of just over £2m, will enable businesses across Wales to collaborate in the development of new products and processes as well as increase the number of researchers employed in Wales by businesses using the facilities.
