Profile
The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and has since had many notable scholars including Kelvin, Watt, Rankine, Stirling, Black and Kerr. The James Watt Nanofabrication Centre is a pseudo-industrial cleanroom run by 19 technicians undertaking nanofabrication research and small scale production. The centre has sub-5 nm electron beam lithography capability and holds many world records for fabricating small and high-performance devices. Over 250 companies in 28 countries have used the centre in the last 5 years for the delivery of micro/nanofabrication processes to device demonstrators. Further details at: http://www.jwnc.gla.ac.uk/

Thermoelectric Perpetual Submarine

In February 2021, The US agency DARPA awarded contracts to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and Martin Defense Group (formerly Navatek) to build demonstration versions of the new Manta Ray unmanned underwater vehicle with an energy-harvesting system to power it indefinitely, allowing the robot submarine to carry out missions lasting months or years without returning to base or refueling.

Self-Driving Laboratories: A Reality Waiting to Happen

Imagine a situation where, given a request, a lab automatically chooses what experiments to do, robotically carries this out, tracks the reaction with integrated sensors, acquires and analyzes the results, and then decides what experiment to do next. This seems like science-fiction, but certain truths may be closer than you think.

Synthetic 'brainy skin' with sense of touch gets £1.5m funding

A robotic hand covered in 'brainy skin' that mimics the human sense of touch is being developed by scientists. University of Glasgow's Professor Ravinder Dahiya has plans to develop ultra-flexible, synthetic Brainy Skin that 'thinks for itself'. The super-flexible, hypersensitive skin may one day be used to make more responsive prosthetics for amputees, or to build robots with a sense of touch.
