In 2010,Sunstone Biosciences Inc was acquired by Intelligent Material Solutions, Inc. Sunstone Nanoparticles are rare-earth based crystals with radical optical properties. Sunstone BioSciences is developing products that leverage these extraordinary properties in biomedical applications, and is specifically targeting therapeutic, diagnostic, cosmeceutical, and bioindustrial markets. Sunstone Nanoparticle sizes range from a few nanometers to tens of microns. They absorb certain wavelengths and can convert that energy to other wavelengths. Sunstone Nanoparticles are unique in that they are programmable for wavelength, emission spectrum, lifetime, size and efficiency
