The innovation awards celebrate companies in the UK and Ireland that have generated significant commercial success from the application of physics. Product line comprises three different Tysafio lasers and a wavelength extension accessory. The idea of creating the chameleon was to box this ultra-fast laser technology from a breadboard type solution and put it in a black box where the biologist could literally turn a key and then set the wavelength that they desire for their imaging. Coherent Scotland is very proud to be, of course, the first Scottish winner of the Institute of Physics Innovation Award. It's a great accolade for all our employees here working hard over the last 10 years to create our success and it certainly adds market goodwill and, of course, shareholder value. For the development of a range of tabletop, ultra-fast, tunable lasers which have underpinned advances in the biological and medical research sectors, the prize is awarded to Coherent Scotland Ltd. The award is collected by Dr Christopher Dorman, General Manager. Electa is a leading manufacturer of linear accelerators used in radiation oncology in the treatment of cancer. We are the fastest growing oncology business in the world. This success is driven by a whole series of innovations over the last 40 years and our latest is a beam-shaping device that we call agility. I was involved with the project from the very beginning and I still remember very well when we were drafting the concept on paper about seven years ago. So it was a very special moment for all of us when the first patient was treated with agility in Springtime 2012 at St James' Hospital in Leeds. There are a number of physicists working in Electa in research and development and receiving this award is an important recognition of the work they do as well as the value of physics in industrial innovation, particularly medical developments. After all this hard work, it is a huge honour to receive this award and we are always looking to hire new physicists and this really does increase the profile of Electa. For the development of a novel multi-leaf collimator for use in radiation therapy, an innovation which is at the heart of a range of successful products enabling safer and more efficient cancer patient treatment, the prize is awarded to Electa Ltd. The award is collected by Kevin Brown, Global Vice President Scientific Research and Dr Julia Thompson, Manager of Physics. The software provides assistance at an early stage in the design process by enabling an understanding of how a product will perform in order to be able to change then obviously how it's designed to perform better. The primary way in which it helps our customers is by simplifying and reducing the cost of trialling hundreds and hundreds of different designs physically and by replacing this physical testing with an early virtual testing. The Institute of Physics award is really a recognition of the hard work we've done and it's based on research we did early on, managed transfer from a university setting into a viable and thriving commercial entity so we're very proud to receive the Institute of Physics award. For the development and commercialisation of a physics based computer modelling package which has brought significant benefits to the aerospace, advanced engineering and medical technology sectors, the prize is awarded to Simpleware Ltd. The award is collected by Professor Philip Young, Managing Director. Level Finder Plus gives multiple benefits to our customers. The most important one is that it isn't fooled by solid build-up. When it sees solid build-up it recognises that, it allows the operator to measure the solid build-up but never loses sight of the bulk liquid level in the vessel. Winning the Institute of Physics Innovation award is a tremendous boost for Tracer Co. It's particularly good that it brings light and prominence to the tremendous work that our scientists do in the background in the development of all the products that we take to market. For the development of a gamma radiation based thickness measurement system which has enabled significant increases in efficiency in the petrochemical industry, the prize is awarded to Tracer Co. The award is collected by Kim Tai Lee, Business Director and Steve Rowe, Senior Product Engineer. What Zeffa does, it's a wind-lider that sits on the ground and measures the wind speed by emitting a laser beam out of the atmosphere and measuring tiny fractions of the light that gets back-scattered from dust particles in the air. It's being used very extensively in the wind industry, in particular to assess the potential of a possible wind farm site. We sell more than 75% of our products overseas from Africa to Northern South America and Asia. Winning the Institute of Physics Innovation award, I think it's a great accolade for the company. We are all scientists and physicists at heart, so it's just very nice to get that sort of level of recognition. For the development and commercialisation of a novel lidar anemometry system which has allowed cheaper and more efficient wind farm siting and operation, the prize is awarded to Zeffa Ltd. The award is collected by Ian Locker, Managing Director and Michael Harris, Chief Scientist. Gold medals of the Institute of Physics celebrate outstanding contributions through research, innovation and leadership. My working method is simply to think. Many colleagues work with pen and paper, but I've always sort of found this gets in the way. I was drawn to the Abraham Minkowski problem, partly because it's a bit like an inch at the heart scratch. When you state it, it seems really rather simple. It's about a momentum of light inside a transparent medium, like this piece of glass. Does the momentum of the light increase when it goes into the glass, or does it decrease? Abraham would have us believe that it gets less. Minkowski says, no, no, no, it increases. Eureka moments are very convenient, but they don't come along very often. But there was a moment when the penny finally dropped. The realisation that the Minkowski momentum is essentially associated with the wave properties of the light and the Abraham momentum of the particle properties because we have this wave particle gemality. The medal is very nice, most especially because it's always nice to have the recognition of your peers. These are very competitive prizes. You look at the list of all the former winners and you kind of feel a bit humble to be in such company. Dirac medal, for his wide-ranging contributions throughout optics research, which both inspire and lead experimental endeavours, the medal is awarded to Professor Stephen Barnett of the University of Strathclyde. We became interested in the possibility that you could control atoms by building tiny electrical circuits using more or less the methods of microelectronics. We wondered if you could use those chips to control the flow and interaction of very cold atoms. The feeling was that if you could control atoms like this, there would be new functions that you could have that are not available to you from electronics, for example, sensing gravity. The great thing is now they really are doing what we want. One thing we like them to do is to form a Bose-Einstein condensate, which is a collection of very cold atoms and they all spontaneously start to form one big quantum wave and it can be used as a resource for making very sensitive measurements. One of our experiments is known as the EDM of the electron, but I like to think of it as asking whether the electron is round. I find it very exciting to think about big questions, but I find it particularly exciting that in a little experiment in the basement of Blackit Lab, we can try to learn something about what happened in the Big Bang. Faraday medal. For his innovative and seminal experiments and investigations into ultra-cold atoms and molecules, the medal is awarded to Professor Edward Hines of Imperial College London. In 1993 I became the leader of the Large Hadron Collider study group, which in 1994 was converted into another study group by the project. I think it's the most famous tube in the world. It collides two beams of protons together, converting effectively the energy of the beams into mass, E equals mc squared. We were confident if they existed, then we would find it and we have found it. We have observed the new boson. My father was a coal miner. There was no history of science in the family at all, but I was the first one to go to university. I'm an accelerator physicist. I cut my teeth actually on the superpotum synchrotron, the machine that was built in the 1970s. And that kind of experience over 30 years has all gone into the design of the Large Hadron Collider. And that's why it works so well. I think everything we know is in there. Gleisbrook Medal means a great deal to me. I think it is a recognition by your peers. I'm extremely proud to be this year's winner. Gleisbrook Medal. For his outstanding leadership of the Large Hadron Collider project, the medal is awarded to Professor Lyndon Rees Evans of CERN and Imperial College London. To me I think research is the most exciting thing one could possibly imagine doing, which is essentially trying to explore the unknown, going where nobody has gone before. Of course that sounds very trite, but I think that's essentially what makes it so exciting that one is trying to uncover new phenomena, in my case creating entirely new materials that could be extremely useful. I'm very proud of the fact that we invented the materials and the sensing devices that have enabled society to store all data that's existed since the beginning of mankind. That's amazing to me, and that is what makes possible searching, internet access, the ability to look at any book you wish to listen to all the music. This is what is possible by the fundamental discoveries that we made in Spintronics and taking those fundamental discoveries and creating new sensing devices that advance disk drives that can essentially store in just a, you know, one week's production of disk drives can store all the information that's existed since the beginning of mankind. That's pretty amazing to me. Well I'm extremely honoured and pleased to have been awarded the Swan Medal and Prize by the Institute of Physics. They have given prizes to many eminent scientists, so I'm very honoured to be part of that group. Swan medal for his discoveries of the underlying physics and of novel device architectures that have established the field of Spintronics. The medal is awarded to Dr Stuart Parkin of IBM Research USA. The Isaac Newton Medal of the Institute of Physics is awarded to any physicist regardless of subject area, background or nationality for outstanding contributions to physics. When you move to a new area it's foolish to go there without any skills whatsoever. So you should bring something across. So these three areas I worked in, surface science, disordered systems and waves and now in optics, major research topic which has to do with how you can design a structure in a very specific and ordered way that will create unique properties for light. So not so much to the chemistry of the material that they're made of. It's actually to do the micro structure that you engineer into that material. It turns out within optics there are many things you might want to do which you can't do because when you want to do something you've got to make it out of a material and if that material with the properties you need is not available, you can't do it. And metamaterials extend the properties to which you have access in a very dramatic way. I would like to solve a really, really difficult problem. Now I've got the Newton Medal I feel that freezing me up to say well okay, I can do something which might fail very badly now and so I might turn back to the parts of that disordered problem that I failed to solve all those years ago and try again. Now that his seminal contributions to surface science, disordered systems and photonics, the medal is awarded to Professor Sir John Pendry of Imperial College London. That concludes our awards this evening. I think I was going to pass over to the toast master to propose a toast to all those who've won awards and received fellowships this evening. Ladies and gentlemen, please fill your glasses and join us in a toast to this evening's award winners, ladies and gentlemen. And now, ladies and gentlemen, that concludes the formal part of the celebration this evening. A cash bar is now open back in the reception area. Please continue to have a very enjoyable evening and do have a safe journey home. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and good night.
