Clarity Sensors will attend the 2026 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium, Medical Imaging Conference and International Symposium on Room Temperature Semiconductor Detectors (NSS MIC RTSD), held in Granada, Spain, from the 7^th to the 14^th of November.

The conference is one of the main international meetings for radiation detection and medical imaging research. It brings together academic groups, detector developers and system manufacturers. Representing Clarity Sensors will be Dr Hayden Salway, CEO; Dr Lok Yi Lee, R&D Lead; and Dr Joydip Ghosh, R&D Scientist.

On Monday 9 November at 16:00, in the Andalucía II & III room, our Co-founder and Scientific Advisor Dr Ganbaa Tumen-Ulzii of the University of Cambridge will present the paper “Identification and control of interfacial limits enabling high-performance photon-counting perovskite radiation detectors”, co-authored with our CSO Professor Sam Stranks. This is the latest academic work underpinning the technology we are developing.

Metal halide perovskites are a family of crystals with two properties that make them well suited to detecting X-rays and gamma rays:

• They contain heavy atoms, which attenuate high-energy radiation efficiently.
• They move electrical charge efficiently, which converts that radiation into a clean electrical signal.

Most perovskite detectors built so far collect positive charge, whereas most existing readout electronics are designed to collect negative charge (electrons). Dr Tumen-Ulzii’s research looks at what happens where the crystal meets its metal electrical contacts when a detector is operated in each mode.

The work shows that this interface, rather than the crystal itself, is the main factor limiting detector performance and stability. Adding ultrathin metal layers at the contact allows the detectors to operate stably in either mode, opening a path towards perovskite detectors that are compatible with standard electronics. In the study, the detectors remained stable over around 100 hours of continuous operation and three months of storage, and measured gamma-ray energies with 1.3% resolution at 662 keV.

Dr Hayden Salway, CEO of Clarity Sensors, said: “Conferences such as NSS MIC RTSD are where the detector community tests new ideas in the open. We are looking forward to hearing Ganbaa’s talk and to meeting partners working on photon-counting imaging across healthcare, security and industry.”

We are developing PRISM-X, a photon-counting X-ray detector based on halide perovskite single crystal semiconductors, for CT system manufacturers in industrial inspection, healthcare diagnostics and security screening.
