REVEALED: New spinout from university set to disrupt global sensor industry | Rare Historical Photos

A new establishment from University of the West of Scotland (UWS) is set to disrupt the thin film and sensor industry – currently valued at more than £2.5 billion globally.

AlbaSense, based within UWS’s Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging (ITFSI), is the third company from the University and will develop low-cost, high-performance thin film optical coatings and photonic sensors, using exclusive patented processes.

Thin films form a key component in applications including autonomous photonic-based gas sensors, medical devices such as breath analysers, non-contact thermometers, and advanced imaging systems.
