Formally confirmed in the UK Government Spending Review, the Investment Zone aims to accelerate innovation in advanced manufacturing areas such as semiconductors. Neuranics’ project, in partnership with Kelvin Nanotechnology (KNT) and the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC) at the University of Glasgow, will create a new nanofabrication centre establishing world-leading manufacturing capability for magnetic sensor technology.

The facility will be the first in the UK dedicated to full end-to-end magnetic sensor fabrication and assembly, supported by advanced tools including one of only two Ion Beam Etch systems in the UK. The project will strengthen UK supply chains, enable faster product development and secure local ownership of high-value IP.

Neuranics’ TMR sensors detect minute magnetic fields from the human body, enabling next-generation wearables, gesture interfaces and health monitoring tools. With strong global interest from major consumer electronics companies, bringing production to Glasgow will position the region as a world leader in sensor innovation.

Key project outcomes will include:

“We are delighted to have been shortlisted as part of the Glasgow City Region Investment Zone,” said Noel McKenna, CEO of Neuranics. “This project will be a catalyst for economic growth, driving innovation in bio-signal monitoring and giving other companies and researchers access to world-class infrastructure, right here in Scotland.”

The project directly supports the aims of the Glasgow City Region Investment Zone, Scotland’s National Strategy for Economic Transformation and the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda. It is expected to boost advanced manufacturing, support net-zero goals and widen access to high-growth tech careers.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was carted off the field with a right Achilles tendon injury late in the first half of Sunday's wild-card playoff game at Philadelphia.

Kittle was pushed out of bounds on a 6-yard reception and grabbed the back of his lower right leg. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Kittle is a key part of both the run and pass game for the 49ers but played in just 11 games this season because of injuries. He missed five games early this season with a hamstring injury.

The catch was Kittle's first of the game. He clapped for his teammates as he was driven to the locker room.
