Technology Development

Products & Emerging Solutions
The company is focused on commercialization with product and licensing developments in sensing and instrumentation and pharmaceuticals. This includes solutions for healthcare, telecommunications, industry and federal markets.

In healthcare, Luna is applying its unique distributed fiber optic sensing to enhance medical devices used in minimally invasive diagnostics, surgery and therapy. This technology can be used to measure the position and shape of an instrument inside the body, as well as pressure and temperature. Intuitive Surgical, a technology leader in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, is working with Luna on integrating Luna’s proprietary shape sensing technology into the navigational system of their next-generation robotic surgical devices. Luna is also developing medical devices that use high frequency sound, or ultrasonic waves based on proprietary technology known as quantitative ultrasound, for non-invasive monitoring and diagnostics.

Luna's TRIMETASPHERE® is also the basis in the development of alternative energy solutions. Organic solar cells are a low-cost, lightweight, potential alternative to the silicon-based solar panels in wide use today. Improvements in performance are required before organic solar cells will be a commercial success. Luna has made significant progress in advancing the efficiencies of organic solar cells receiving verification from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory that using Luna’s TRIMETASPHERE® carbon nanomaterials significantly increase open circuit voltage in organic solar cells compared to today’s standard C60 fullerenes.
