Anastassios Nanos

We are thrilled to share an insightful interview with Dr. Eben Upton CBE, the CEO and co-founder of Raspberry Pi, conducted by Peel Hunt’s Kate Bannatyne. In this episode, Eben dives deep into the future of Raspberry Pi and shares some fascinating highlights: 👉 How end-to-end engineering creates an economic moat,  👉 The impact of its IPO in turbocharging its go-to-market, 👉 The potential for leveraging the existing RPi playbook to help it disrupt more of the semiconductor landscape. The convergence of Cloud economics and AI productivity is unlocking the fourth industrial revolution at the ‘Edge’, and over the longer term we think that trend will do to Raspberry Pi what the desktop did to Microsoft, the mobile did to Apple and the datacentre is doing to NVIDIA. You can watch the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/ewHcrghk We are lucky enough to have Eben presenting at our FTSE 250 conference, so please get in touch with events@peelhunt.com to make sure you don’t miss it!

I've added an interactive version of the new C4 model diagrams to the website (link in the comments), allowing you to start at the landscape/context and double-click to zoom-in to the detail. It's built using the Structurizr DSL, and exported as a static website using the Structurizr CLI. Think of it as a lighter version of Structurizr Lite, with no server required.

🔒 Flower is now fully deployable in UK Secure Research Environments (SREs) network! We're excited to announce that Flower is now fully deployable in the UK network of Secure Research Environments (SREs) build for the NHS, these compute resources are also known as Trusted Research Environments or Secure Data Environments. This work has been lead by Fan Zhang at the Bloodcounts! consortium, working closely with the Flower team. See a demo and discuss how you can use this new capability at the upcoming Flower UK HLS Day on October 29th in Cambridge (registration link in the comments). UK SREs have been established by the NHS for scalable and safe data sharing. This nation-wide UK resource offers computational resources to researchers and practitioners that they can trust to use in order to analyze sensitive medical-related data. Now that Flower is compatible with this SRE network, a major roadblock to building large-scale NHS-based federated AI solutions has been removed. Detailed in our blogpost released today (link in comments), we highlight a deployment of Flower in the Secure Research Computing Platform (SRCP) at the University of Cambridge, which is one of the UK's leading NHS-compliant trusted research environments. This deployment brings the power of federated AI to high-security research environments compliant with the NHS's data security standards. Flower SuperNodes running in SRCPs enable the NHS to securely participate in an international federation of 100+ hospitals via the BloodCounts! project, collaborating in the training of AI models for predicting haematological diseases, including iron deficiency and leukemia.

"Printed Silicon Nanoribbon-Based Temperature Sensors on Flexible Substrates". Read our latest article published in IEEE Sensors Letters - https://lnkd.in/eycxz7Zx. This paper presents doped silicon nanoribbons (Si NRs) based miniaturised (≈315 μm2), highly sensitive temperature sensors printed onto flexible substrates. The arrays of temperature sensors based on p–i–n junctions formed along the length of the doped Si NRs are obtained on flexible substrates using custom-built direct roll printing method combined with a few conventional microfabrication process steps. In the constant current mode, the presented sensors exhibit a high thermal sensitivity of −1mV ± 0.3/°C (extracted from voltages at specific currents) over the tested temperature range of 5°C and 75°C, along with excellent repeatability with no hysteresis over multiple cycles. Furthermore, the printed temperature sensor demonstrates ∼9.4% increase in current per °C, highlighting its excellent response to temperature variations. These results are promising wider application of presented temperature sensors in application such as e-skin in areas such as health monitoring, robotics, digital agriculture etc. Congratulations Ayoub Zumeit et al.

We’re pleased to announce that UK public research organisations can now apply for funding to participate in three upcoming calls from the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU). Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is funding UK teams to develop exascale and AI-ready software, tools and workflows in areas of national importance while collaborating with Europe’s leading computing centres. The calls cover: 🔹Community Centres of Excellence 🔹Transversal Centres of Excellence 🔹Lighthouse Codes for HPC Applications DSIT are allocating up to £3.9 million is available for UK participation across the three calls. Successful applicants will receive 50% of their funding from the EuroHPC JU through the Horizon Europe funding programme and 50% from URKI via separate Grant Funding Agreements. For details on applying and more information on the calls: https://lnkd.in/eDpssDvH This is a great chance to strengthen the UK’s compute ecosystem and join cross-border HPC collaborations. Closes 20 January 2026 ⏰

Last week our Chair Hemant Mardia was on BBC News representing Nu Quantum commenting on Google’s exciting news to open access to their Willow quantum computing chip to UK-based researchers. This announcement highlights the value that leaders in quantum computing like Google see in engaging with the UK's quantum community across companies, universities and spin-outs. "The UK has one of the world's leading quantum sectors due to the strong government support and initiative, and recognition [of quantum] as a really important frontier technology... with a very rich ecosystem and strong talent."
