01 — RESEARCH
From atomic-scale design
to working technology.
Our work follows materials through the full translation pathway: synthesis, characterization, device fabrication, testing, and intelligent integration.
Optoelectronics
Photodetectors and imaging platforms spanning ultraviolet, visible, infrared and low-light operation.
DiscoverRadiation detectors
Lead-free, high-sensitivity X-ray detectors designed for safer medical and industrial imaging.
DiscoverIntelligent devices
Neuromorphic sensors and edge hardware that combine perception, memory and computation.
Discover02 — PEOPLE
Interdisciplinary by design.
Materials scientists, physicists, chemists and device engineers working as one team across disciplines and borders.
