The recipient is Southampton University spinout Aquark Technologies, which has developed a unique quantum sensing technology. Aquark s patented cold atom system can be used as an alternative position, navigation, and timing PNT device, independent from satellites and thus immune to external tampering such as GPS interference. Doing away with the cumbersome magnetic traps Aquark calls itself a miniaturisation company. It specialises in micro-fabrication and vacuum technology. However, what really sets it apart, is that it has found entirely new ways of trapping This story continues at The Next Web
