| Big advances for small technologies |
Small technologies promise tremendous, innovative advances in a wide variety of areas. These applications will become increasingly important as society demands specialised proven technologies to help solve business needs.
The news this month from QinetiQ highlights this “small” topic.
QinetiQ Nanomaterials Limited announced on 18th February, its development of TesimorphTM ES-25 - an experimental magnetic stainless steel material with a particle size of 25 nanometres - many times smaller than anything currently available. The world's most compact global tracking device has also been developed by QinetiQ.

Through research into leading edge technology, QinetiQ delivers brilliant solutions to some of the most important problems faced by business, government and society today, and tomorrow.
QinetiQ and its partners AMS and Roke Manor Research Ltd have begun work on ARTIST (Advanced Radar Technology Integrated System Test-bed). This £8.1M UK contract is to build a research demonstrator system and assess techniques to support the next generation of maritime multifunction radar (MFR). The 44 month programme includes preliminary testing in the UK with more extensive trials taking place in a follow-on programme.
The results of a two-year joint research programme by Intel Corporation and QinetiQ into new transistor technology that could become a promising candidate for making microprocessors in the middle of the next decade was made in February also. Transistors are the tiny switches in microprocessors that process the ones and zeros of the digital world.
