The future of x-ray imaging = nanotechnology + scintillators
At the heart of our company lies a novel technology integrating nanophotonic structures with scintillators. Scintillators are crystals converting x-rays into visible light. Our technology was peer-reviewed and published in Science.
End-to-end framework
We model and optimize every step in the physical process and image reconstruction, from the interaction of x-rays with matter to advanced post-processing algorithms.
Scintillators, old and new
Our technology is material-agnostic: we can improve all scintillators, well-installed and emerging materials.
Controlling scintillation light at will
Our method relies on the generation enhancement and control of scintillation light. In short, we see what conventional optics cannot see. More details about the science behind our technology can be read here.
Company
Who we are
A MIT deep tech spin-off, we aspire to bring transformative technologies from lab to market to have a positive impact on people's lives.
Deep tech
We bring cutting-edge fundamental research from the lab to the market. When we develop software, it is here to serve and assist our hardware.
Building stuff
We are hands-on scientist and we want to turn our ideas into products.
Here to learn
We wake up every day because we know we are going to learn something we did not know yet. We are here to learn to tackle complex, multi-disciplinary problems. We thrive on learning from people from diverse backgrounds and expertise.
