A novel collaborative tool for exploring and designing project evaluations. EViD is the outcome of a research collaboration between academics seeking to design a virtual, visualsed, user-friendly tool aimed at revolutionising the project evaluation process.
Plasma4 uniquely combines novel materials and cold atmospheric plasma for on-demand and targeted delivery of drugs for a range of skin conditions, including infections, inflammatory and autoimmune disease and cancers. The Plasma4 research programme is a collaborative international effort, drawing expertise from scientists across universities and industries, including Lancaster University. Their patented technology is based on more than 50 years of world-class plasma & materials expertise.
Quantum Base Ltd’s patented product range is driven from thier development of the world’s first nanoscale quantum physically unclonable functions (PUF’s), both Optical (OPUF) and Electronic (EPUF) versions, and their simple quantum random number generator (Q-RAND). They have a further six products in patent pending, founded on their scientific research in quantum physics.
Lancaster Helium Ltd is a spin-out company of Lancaster University. It supplies the isotopically pure He-4 gas needed for a diversity of applications including: Coolant gas in a nuclear reactor The down-scattering medium for ultra-cold neutron (UCN) production Measurement of the Landau critical velocity Experiments on quantum turbulence Cyclotron resonance of ions below the superfluid surface Production of excited helium molecules (long-lived excimers) Ultra-low-temperature experiments on solid He-4 The gas has many other possible uses.
