Products
Microstructured semiconductor neutron detector (MSND)
Solid-state microstructured semiconductor thermal-neutron detector using deep-etched trenches backfilled with neutron-conversion materials for compact, low-power detection.
Domino detector module
Small form-factor tileable semiconductor neutron detector module optimized for low power and digital output per module.
ARGANOT (area radiation telemetry module)
Configurable wearable/IoT radiation detection device that reports dose, identification and localization of gamma and neutron sources and can be mounted on UAVs or left for long-term monitoring.
Neutron Radioisotope Identifier Device (NRID)
Portable instrument for neutron isotope identification, localization and dose measurement using distributed high-efficiency neutron detectors and AI/ML spectral analysis.
Cosmic Soil Moisture Monitor (Cosmic SMM)
Passive cosmic-ray neutron soil moisture monitor using Li-Foil MWPC detectors for field-scale, non-invasive soil moisture measurements with IoT connectivity and solar power options.
CZT detectors and imagers
