The unique properties of nanoscale materials cannot by determined by extrapolating the properties of bulk materials. In many areas of nanoscience, the developments of new materials, structures and devices are restricted by not knowing how the materials behave in real-time due to a lack of suitable instrumentation and test methods. The Basic Technology Nanorobotics programme has successfully developed new instrumentation to examine the 3D structural, mechanical, electrical and surface properties of nanostructures in real-time inside electron microscopes. The Basic Technology translation grant will underpin the translation of this technology into the industrial sphere. Through applying the techniques, unique world-leading capability will be available to UK industry and academia to determine their nanoobjects' functionality, reliability, failure modes and lifetime, and thus enable more effective engineering of their nanostructured materials and devices. Key interdisciplinary applications to be targeted by the translation of the technology to industry will include determining the real-time interaction of nanoparticles, dynamical nanotribology of nanostructured surfaces and coatings, failure of nanostructures including MEMS/NEMS components, nanoscale functionality and failure of biomedical materials and novel nanowelding methods. The translation grant will be used both to address existing industrial problems (demonstrating the technology capability), and also to carry out short-term high-risk exploratory investigations at the cutting edge of nanotechnology research to underpin future research programmes. The translation grant will ensure that the UKs industrial base will gain maximum advantage of the technological developments arising out of the Basic Technology grant. Furthermore it will ensure the training of the next generation of UK-based researchers in this field, and enhance links with UK and global companies and researchers to ensure a UK lead in this area.

纳米材料的独特性质不能通过外推块状材料的性质来确定。在纳米科学的许多领域，由于缺乏合适的仪器和测试方法，不知道材料的实时行为，限制了新材料、结构和设备的发展。基础技术纳米机器人项目已经成功开发了新的仪器，可以在电子显微镜内实时检查纳米结构的三维结构、机械、电学和表面特性。基础技术转化补助金将支持这项技术转化为工业领域。通过应用这些技术，英国工业界和学术界将获得世界领先的独特能力，以确定他们的纳米物体的功能、可靠性、失效模式和寿命，从而使他们的纳米结构材料和设备的工程更有效。通过将该技术转化为工业的关键跨学科应用将包括确定纳米颗粒的实时相互作用，纳米结构表面和涂层的动态纳米摩擦学，纳米结构（包括MEMS/NEMS组件）的失效，纳米级功能和生物医学材料的失效以及新型纳米焊接方法。翻译补助金将用于解决现有的工业问题（展示技术能力），也用于在纳米技术研究的前沿进行短期高风险的探索性调查，以支持未来的研究项目。翻译补助金将确保英国的工业基础将从基础技术补助金产生的技术发展中获得最大的优势。此外，它将确保在该领域培训下一代英国研究人员，并加强与英国和全球公司和研究人员的联系，以确保英国在该领域的领先地位。
