Recognising a Contribution to Nanometrology

NanoSight attended the fourth annual UK NanoForum & Emerging Technologies conference and exhibition, which brought together over 100 senior international delegates and 350 UK delegates to network and identify potential business and collaboration opportunities in the world of nanotechnology.

A highlight of the meeting was the second annual Business, Innovation and Entrepreneurship competition recognising the top three innovative organisations from the UK’s emerging technologies community. Salisbury-based company, NanoSight, was named in the final short list of six companies for the 2009 Business Innovation Awards. These are given in three categories: life sciences & healthcare, energy & environment and materials & devices.

This position puts NanoSight at the forefront of the UK’s most successful nanotechnology companies. It has achieved this through successful proof of technology and resultant sales of more than 200 systems to industry and academia worldwide in just three years since shipments began.

This is interesting to report when so much has been promised for the future of nanotechnology since the Royal Society published its report on ‘Nanoscience and nanotechnologies; opportunities and uncertainties’ back in 2004. Five years on, in July this year, the Responsible NanoForum presented a new report that concluded how little substantive progress has been made.

Against this general lack of progress, NanoSight stands out as an exception. Speaking at the NanoForum, NanoSight Founder and Chief Technical Officer, Dr Bob Carr, recalled how the world has progressed and has
embraced the work of NanoSight.

NanoSight is actively collaborating with the National Physical Laboratory who are assessing NanoSight’s capability to visualise and report on the characterisation of nanoparticles in liquids.
