Metahelios ltd

I'd like to thank the SEMI Europe team for featuring me in this video to say a few works about why image sensor innovations are so important. Attending the MEMS & Imaging Sensors Summit at SEMI Europe was outstanding. It featured prominent speakers from the most important players in the industry. Companies like Bosch, STMicroelectronics, BMW Group and VTT to name a few delivered fascinating presentations. There were also excellent short presentations by companies involved in breakthrough SWIR image sensor technologies like qurv, EYE4NIR, and TriEye. Metahelios ltd presented its groundbreaking metasurface SWIR technology that features the first ultrathin Infrared Filter Arrays for ultracompact hyperspectral imaging. Most of all, it was a great environment for having open conversations about technological advances and forging new relationships within the industry. Of course a huge THANK YOU goes to the organisers!

We're looking forward to seeing you in Munich at the Semicon MEMS & Imaging Sensors Summit. We also invite you to join us at session 4 where we will be presenting our infrared technologies. #memsandimagingsensorssummit #semicon #automotive #mobile

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” This year’s two Nobel Prize laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, and so perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures. When we talk about artificial intelligence, we often mean machine learning using artificial neural networks. This technology was originally inspired by the structure of the brain. In an artificial neural network, the brain’s neurons are represented by nodes that have different values. These nodes influence each other through connections that can be likened to synapses and which can be made stronger or weaker. The network is trained, for example by developing stronger connections between nodes with simultaneously high values. This year’s laureates have conducted important work with artificial neural networks from the 1980s onward. John Hopfield invented a network that uses a method for saving and recreating patterns. We can imagine the nodes as pixels. The Hopfield network utilises physics that describes a material’s characteristics due to its atomic spin – a property that makes each atom a tiny magnet. The network as a whole is described in a manner equivalent to the energy in the spin system found in physics, and is trained by finding values for the connections between the nodes so that the saved images have low energy. When the Hopfield network is fed a distorted or incomplete image, it methodically works through the nodes and updates their values so the network’s energy falls. The network thus works stepwise to find the saved image that is most like the imperfect one it was fed with. Geoffrey Hinton used the Hopfield network as the foundation for a new network that uses a different method: the Boltzmann machine. This can learn to recognise characteristic elements in a given type of data. Hinton used tools from statistical physics, the science of systems built from many similar components. The machine is trained by feeding it examples that are very likely to arise when the machine is run. The Boltzmann machine can be used to classify images or create new examples of the type of pattern on which it was trained. Hinton has built upon this work, helping initiate the current explosive development of machine learning.

📢 Our CTO Yash D. Shah took part in the first nanoFabUK Symposium last week. NanoFabUK is spearheading an effort towards creating a network of cleanrooms in the UK for the benefit of technological and scientific advancements. A network of cleanrooms would mean that building technologies that require nanofabrication like semiconductor technologies would be much more accessible, which for companies like metahelios is extremely important. In addition, this network would immensely benefit the UK economy through the creation of more deep tech startups. Thank you for Kunal Lulla Ramrakhiyani and his team at University of Manchester's National Graphene Centre for organising this great event. We eagerly are looking forward to next year's nanoFabUK symposium in Glasgow.

Metahelios is making progress in the right direction! Backed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology the Silicon Catalyst.UK ChipStart programme has been designed specifically for promising UK Semiconductor Startups. Thank you for your support and thank you for accelerating semiconductor technologies in the UK. We would like to thank Department for Science, Innovation and Technology for mentioning us in their post, and we would like to thank the Silicon Catalyst.UK team for selecting us for the new cohort. #UKstartups #UKtech #Semiconductor #Metasurfaces #UKgov

🎊 Metahelios has been selected as one of the 11 semiconductor startups that will be part of the Silicon Catalyst.UK cohort! ℹ The Silicon Catalyst is a world leading semiconductor incubator that was founded in Silicon Valley. With access to over 300 semiconductor executive advisors that have advised more than 1000 semiconductor startups over the past several years and with an impressive list of strategic partners that include TSMC, Arm and ST Microelectronics (to name a few), they have established a strong presence in the semiconductor industry. Since 2023, they have extended their capabilities and expertise to the UK with the Silicon Catalyst.UK supported by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. 🛎 On June 13th the Metahelios cofounders attended an event at a beautiful venue in London. The programme included an impressive list of invited speakers and pitches from the graduating first cohort of startups and the newly selected second cohort. Attendees included investors, company executives and other highly experienced technologists. 📣 We are looking forward to giving you more updates!

https://lnkd.in/eSyW8drh Our team at Metahelios ltd is constantly developing groundbreaking sensor technologies for several industries. However, we are particularly honoured that our hard work since founding Metahelios has made us the world’s leading company in the development of Metasurface sensor technologies for defence and national security applications. Metahelios currently stands as the only company to have developed and introduced the first shortwave infrared filter array (SWIFA) technology on the market. Indeed, our technology enables the creation of the first miniaturised infrared spectral cameras that require no moving parts for mobile and uninterrupted enhanced situational awareness. When we developed this technology we were not entirely sure how much traction it would receive. However, indicators of several funding calls including the US Army's recent SBIR call for “Miniaturization of Hyperspectral Sensors for UAS Applications” underlines the occurring momentum in demand for our technology. As a young company we could not be more pleased to see that the global market is turning in our favour. As part of our journey we are also constantly looking for new defence, space, and semiconductor investors. Fundraising is crucial to Metahelios’ mission to continue developing cutting-edge technologies that go far beyond what is thought to be possible. If you would like to know more about our technology or investment opportunities, do not hesitate to contact us at enquiries@metahelios.co.uk or on our website www.metahelios.co.uk. #defense #defence #nationalsecurity #sensors #semiconductors #metasurfaces US Army US Navy United States Air Force UK Ministry of Defence UK government #UKsemiconductorinstitute Department for Science, Innovation and Technology
