Research and Projects
We are actively involved in semiconductor material and device research, endlessly striving to improve the performance and capabilities of Our Sensors and various manufacturing processes.
We are also directly involved and work alongside collaborators using our sensors involved with pushing the frontiers of various scientific and engineering applications:
Non-destructive testing and evaluation
Our sensors have been used in various scanners and systems for the inspection of components, welds and material quality.
Due to the unique sensitivity, dynamic range and frequency operating range of our sensors, they have been successfully used in various techniques including magnetic flux leakage, eddy-current and pulsed eddy-current systems across various materials including mild steel, aerospace alloys and carbon fibre composites.
Microstructure Imaging
Using the principles of magnetic flux leakage, we have been able to quantitatively image and individually resolve the grains in various ferromagnetic materials including electrical steel and structural steel, via fully non-destructive methods.
For various applications, including real time evaluation of steel on manufacturing lines.

Magnetic imaging for security applications
To non-invasively scan people for the detection of concealed weapons. Based on the electromagnetic response of detected materials, the operator can distinguish between different metals.
The real time images provide substantially more information than typical metal detector wands, enabling better decision making.

This project seeks to develop the first micrometric-size Ultra-Efficient Wireless POwered Micro-robotic joint (UWIPOM2), enabling the creation of micro-robotic complex mechanisms for minimally invasive micro-surgery techniques and in-vivo health treatments.
The scientific-technological aim is to create the first building block able to power future healthcare micro-robots. Test in in-vivo like environment will be done to demonstrate its feasibility. If the risky scientific and technological challenges hereby proposed are overcome, radically new outstanding minimally invasive micro-surgery techniques and new non-invasive inside body treatments will be enabled, saving thousands of lives.
