Company Profile

NOVA Scientific, Inc. is structured around state-of-the-art neutron detection and imaging for scientific, industrial, and security applications. Having an extensive history of conducting R&D for various government agencies, the company markets neutron detection and imaging detectors and systems for use by national laboratories and research universities, as well as for commercial application. With expertise in the area of neutron-sensitive MCP detectors and systems, the firm has broad portfolio of patents and patent applications, both in the US and internationally to maintainleadership in that space. NOVA Scientific’s staff has expertise in areas of science and technology to include nuclear and solid state physics, nuclear instrumentation, as well as materials and glass science and engineering and long-standing track record and experience in the space of microchannel plate (MCP) – based detectors. Some 20 years ago the firm developed and introduced to the world neutron-sensitive MCPs such that the long experience and experimentation at research reactors by the firm's personnel equip the firm to deal with the intricacies of ‘neutronics’ – the vernacular used to describe the multi-faceted behavior of neutrons in materials. NOVA has strong working relationships with many companies, including Surface Concept, which develops and manufactures the digital delay line readouts, as well as many research groups, including the University of California Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and the University of Massachusetts-Lowell Radiation Laboratory. NOVA also leverages various consultants and vendors, making use of their technical abilities and e
