The GISMO Team have started 2021 off smart, with two successful events in February and a third planned for March. On Friday 5th February we hosted Coatings – we’ve got it covered, with Professor Rob Short, Director of the Materials Science Institute at Lancaster University. Prof. Short explored the use of functional coatings for medical[…]
SARS-CoV-2 was first identified over a year ago. With multiple lockdowns, restrictions, and finally a vaccine on the way, it’s been a long journey in slowing transmission of the virus. Advances in surface technology have also played a key part in preventing the spread and will continue to be an important tool in the fight[…]
This month, we shared some festive content on our social media relating to our three themes: Additive Manufacturing, Chemicals & Hydrogen, and Surfaces & Coatings! We have decided to share them here, so you can discover the science behind Christmas in one place. Day 1: Chemistry of snow Ice is less dense than water. The[…]
We caught up with Armin Yousefi Kanani, doctoral researcher and GISMO Innovation Fellow for Additive Manufacturing. Describe yourself in three words. Motivated, hardworking, organised. Who or what inspired you to a career in science? The first time when I saw the shuttle spacecraft on TV. What qualifications do you hold? MSc in Mechanical Engineering. Hopefully,[…]
GISMO’s first breakfast webinar on Friday 27th November was a resounding success. Around 40 people attended the webinar on ‘Smart Surfaces and Coatings’ with Dr Alex Robson, including academics from a range of institutions, large and small organisations worldwide, and SMEs in Cheshire and Warrington. The event was the first in a series of seminars[…]
We caught up with Julien Doulcet, post-doctoral fellow and GISMO Innovation Fellow in Chemicals and Hydrogen. Describe yourself in three words. Passionate, Persistent, Cartesian. Who or what inspired you to a career in science? Reading science books and magazines as a kid. What qualifications do you hold? PhD in Chemistry from the University of East[…]
Halloween may look different this year, so we thought we would include some of our favourite free 3D printing files for you to enjoy safely at home or in the office! Does your business need help with 3D printing? GISMO can help you to introduce more flexibility into your operations or to reduce lead times,[…]
A new project developed by Lancaster University’s Health Innovation Campus and Material Science Institute is researching the use of pioneering technology to decontaminate vital medical equipment exposed to the Covid-19 virus, via a partnership with University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT). The new project will explore how cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jets[…]
Over 20 SMEs from the Cheshire and Warrington region attended the Greater Innovation for Smarter Materials Optimisation (GISMO) virtual launch event on Thursday 24th September. The webinar introduced the three themes covered by the project – Additive Manufacturing, Chemicals & Hydrogen, and Surfaces & Coatings – which were introduced by the three GISMO Innovation Fellows,[…]
Join Dr Alex Robson and members of the Materials Science Institute and GISMO teams on Friday 27th November to learn about surfaces & surface analysis. The event will be the first in a series of breakfast seminars from researchers working in these fields about advances in materials science and how they can benefit you and[…]
