Applied sciences company
Pushing the boundaries of applied sciences with intelligent, physics-based technology for global challenges

Innovative Physics is a leading UK-based applied sciences company, founded in 2008 and headquartered on the Isle of Wight. As physics and maths experts, we combine advanced technology with scientific research to create novel solutions that overcome radiological and technical obstacles for our clients and wider society. Operating globally, Innovative Physics serves industries that demand the very highest levels of expertise, including defence, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE), civil nuclear, and medical sectors.
With over seventy years of combined experience, we bring together a team of highly qualified scientists and engineers to develop patented technologies in radiation visualisation, signal imaging, sensor development, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition. Our services, including research consultancy, are highly flexible, ranging from custom product platforms, such as RadiationMetriX™, to licensing our innovations and integrating our technology into original equipment manufacturers' offerings. Our collaborative partnerships and active representatives in regions including Asia (Japan, China, Singapore, South Korea), Europe (France, Germany, BeNeLux, UK), and the USA, help us deliver cutting-edge, physics-based solutions worldwide.
Whether you need specialist expertise or innovative scientific solutions, our internationally experienced team at Innovative Physics is here to support your industry. Contact us today for a personalised consultation.
As an applied sciences company, Innovative Physics operates at the forefront of physics and technology. Our unique strengths include:
Detector construction and ASIC design covering crystal characterisation (CdTe, CZT, Si), material processing, device fabrication, and advanced ASIC designs for charge accumulation and photon counting.
Modular read chain expertise: FPGA IP blocks, embedded firmware, analogue and digital circuit designs, dose calculation, hardware interfacing, and robust communications.
High-level software engineering, including SmartSuite applications (SmartSurvey, SmartMonitor, SmartConfig, SmartSpot), threat engine implementations such as the NID classification engine, and handheld analysis software like WaveRunner.
Pioneering artificial intelligence algorithms, pattern recognition, and machine learning, refined since 1998, to optimise real-time processes and image data.
Deep data processing knowledge, from sensor to output, allowing us to enhance information delivery and acquisition chain optimisation for our clients.
Our patented AI platforms self-learn using output feedback, driving continuous improvement.
Integration of custom, modular solid-state neutron detectors with high gamma rejection ratios for challenging radioactive settings, and patented hybrid semiconductors with exceptional dynamic ranges.
In manufacturing, our scientific technology company produces robust products to IP65 (and in some cases IP67) standards, supporting simple, effective decontamination. We enhance our technology further through key partnerships, acquisitions, and by sourcing best-in-class hardware, making Innovative Physics a trusted name in applied science.
Established Innovative Physics as an applied sciences company to deliver advanced handheld radiation detectors and operate as an OEM, providing bespoke technology to global clients.
Responded to the Fukushima disaster in Japan, creating the Hot Spot Locator 500 (HSL500) to assist with decontamination, achieving a working prototype in six months and a first sale in under a year.
Expanded service models to include OEM, distribution, and hire, broadening our reach across new global markets.
Winner of the Institute of Physics Innovation Award for gamma imaging systems.
Entered landmark agreements with China National Nuclear Corporation and China Environmental Protection Company for radiation management, and won British Engineering Excellence Awards (Small Company of the Year).
Launched the RadiationMetriX product line; awarded the Institute of Physics Innovation Award for neutron detection systems and British Engineering Excellence Grand Prix prize; established Innovative Physics Inc in the USA.
