Company Summary
Actinia develops technology to detect hard radiation such as gamma rays and X-rays. Perfected over many years of research and development in co-Founder Mercouri Kanatzidis’ laboratory at Northwestern, Actinia’s cutting-edge perovskite-based materials exhibit higher X-ray sensitivity, better gamma-ray energy resolution, and lower production costs than competing materials in the field. These semiconductor materials will facilitate a new generation of detector technologies across the nuclear energy, non-proliferation, and medical imaging sectors.
