New £7.5m research hub is unveiled at Queen’s

Abstract:
A new £7.5m research hub to develop international hi-tech projects has been unveiled at Queen's University.

The centre, which is tipped to bring major advances in computer hard drives, sensors, and advanced coatings has been launched in partnership with US firm Seagate Technology.

Professor Robert Bowman, director of Queen's Centre for Nanostructured Media said: "We are incredibly fortunate to have Seagate as a founding partner in ANSIN, for not only are they supporting our first major project, but most significantly they want to see other partners who join ANSIN use the equipment they have provided. We hope that new partners will bring their ideas into ANSIN and that by co-operatively working with other partners in the hub, new inventions will arise and products can be improved."
