Lancaster University and the micro:bit Educational Foundation are collaborating on a research hub, MIRL. It will address innovations in physical computing and digital education. MIRL stands for the micro:bit Innovation and Research Lab. Its work will centre on the BBC micro:bit, 11 million of which have been distributed in the last decade. The pocket-sized programmable computer, it is estimated, has ...
Lancaster University has been awarded a Queen Elizabeth Prize for Education in recognition of its work for the BBC micro:bit. It is the UK’s highest education honour. The sole academic institution involved with developing the device, Lancaster University created the micro:bit’s run-time operating system. And it also helped deliver the hardware and shaped the coding experience. The handheld, programmable STEM ...
IQE and Quinas Technology say they have successfully completed their £1.1m UltraRAM industrialisation project. This involved developing a scalable gallium antimonide (GaSb) epitaxy for memory devices. In July 2024 they were awarded the year’s funding by Innovate UK to take UltraRAM further towards mass production. Quinas Technology is the startup founded by IQE and the universities of Lancaster and Cardiff. ...
We're talking Quadric’s Chimera QC GPNPUs, UltraRAM moving closer to market, a chip-scale trapped-ion quantum logic IC, and AI tools for unmanned combat planes...
Quinas, the startup founded by IQE and the universities of Lancaster and Cardiff, has received £1.1 million from Innovate UK to take UltraRAM further towards mass production. Invented by Lancaster physics professor Manus Hayne, UltraRAM technology is non-volatile with the speed, energy-efficiency, and endurance of DRAM. Most of the funding for the one-year project will be spent at IQE which ...
