Episode Details

The James Watt Nanofabrication Centre at the University of Glasgow marks two decades of pioneering nanotechnology innovation, boasting £35 million in advanced equipment for nanoscale devices. With a rich history dating back to the 1970s, the centre has transformed lab ideas into real products, supporting nearly 200 high-tech firms and launching spinouts in healthcare, quantum tech, and photonics. A notable success includes custom semiconductor lasers for data centres, with a Scottish firm supplying 45 million units worldwide. The centre now handles over 100 electron-beam lithography tasks weekly and supports a £53 million university research portfolio. Future plans include a new Critical Technologies Nanofabrication Facility to accelerate commercialization of key UK tech and train the next workforce.
