Core Viewpoint - Neuranics has secured $8 million in seed funding to accelerate the growth and commercial application of its Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology, which is expected to enhance various high-tech markets, particularly in wearable devices, extended reality (XR), and digital health [2][6]. Group 1: Technology Background - Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) is a quantum physical phenomenon where the resistance in specific magnetic structures changes significantly with the direction of magnetization, allowing for precise magnetic field detection through resistance measurement [3]. Group 2: Technology Features - Neuranics has developed ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors based on TMR technology that can non-invasively capture weak magnetic signals from the human body, such as muscle activity and heart signals, offering higher accuracy, lower power consumption, and continuous monitoring capabilities compared to traditional methods [6]. Group 3: Future Applications - Potential applications of TMR sensors include: - Biomedical field: Detecting weak magnetic fields from the heart (Magnetocardiography, MCG) and brain (Magnetoencephalography, MEG) [8]. - Wearable devices: Monitoring muscle activity and gesture recognition without direct skin contact, enhancing user comfort and device practicality [9]. - Extended reality (XR): Tracking user head and hand positions for a more immersive experience in virtual and augmented reality [9]. Group 4: Recent Developments - Neuranics received £800,000 in funding from Scottish Enterprise to support a research project aimed at transforming human-machine interaction through innovative wristband technology [9]. - The company established an advanced magnetic laboratory at the University of Glasgow to expand its R&D capabilities, focusing on non-contact muscle activity monitoring and continuous magnetic heart monitoring [14][15]. Group 5: Company Overview - Neuranics, founded in 2021, is a joint incubation company from the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh, recognized with global technology awards such as the CES Innovation Award [16]. - The leadership team includes: - CEO Noel McKenna, with over 30 years of experience in the international electronics industry [17]. - CSO Kia Nazarpour, a professor in digital health at the University of Edinburgh [19]. - CTO Hadi Heidari, a professor at the University of Glasgow specializing in microelectronics and biomedical sensors [20].
