The discovery of new things is deep in Canatu\u2019s DNA. From the beginning, we have explored uncharted territory with curiosity. And that is something integral to who we are as a company and what our experts are inspired by. The world is not ready, we tend to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are alert to what happens in our current key industries, while also observing with curiosity what goes on in other fields. Curiosity leads to discovery, and when we identify new needs and opportunities, we evaluate what part we could play and whether it is worth pursuing. Seeking new opportunities and thinking ahead comes naturally to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

While our experts solve the issues of today, they are also working on what’s to come. Canatu R&D envisions and acts upon what our tomorrows need, even decades ahead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Currently, we focus primarily on the automotive<\/a> and semiconductor<\/a> industries with the offering for medical diagnostics<\/a> developing fast. Developments in other areas are also in the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrochemical sensors<\/h3>\n

Electrochemical sensors based on Canatu CNTs offer new opportunities for diverse applications in various industries. With their exceptional sensitivity, these advanced electrochemical sensors can detect a wide range of substances at ultra-low concentrations. This makes electrochemical sensors invaluable for real-time monitoring of critical parameters in fields such as medical diagnostics<\/strong>, veterinary care<\/strong>, environmental monitoring<\/strong>, food & beverage<\/strong>s, and industrial<\/strong> processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Discover more<\/a>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

X-ray windows<\/h3>\n

Canatu carbon nanotube membranes have high potential for X-Ray filter applications due to their unique properties. Canatu CNT membranes feature high X-ray transmittance, robustness, and chemical inertness. Such properties effectively allow X-Rays to pass through whilst blocking other wavelengths in order to effectively procure accurate X-Ray imaging of celestial objects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Discover more<\/a>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Carbon nanotube transistors<\/h3>\n

Canatu CNTs have been studied in the context of transistor applications in co-operation with Aalto University. Canatu is currently seeking partners to take the development from Aalto\u2019s university lab to the next technological maturity level with a view towards commercialization and mass production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Discover more<\/a>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Solar cells<\/h3>\n

Canatu is also exploring to advance future solar cell technology in partnership with a strategic partner. Current silicon solar cells are limited to 25% efficiency, and the goal is to develop dual-stack solar cells achieving potentially 35% efficiency using CNT as an interlayer, overcoming the limitations of silicon-based solar energy conversion.

Nano carbon at the heart of innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everything we do is based on our expertise in nanotechnology and working with nano carbon. This is what makes us versatile and gives us the means to advance breakthrough innovations and solutions with a wide-reaching impact in select industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our R&D works on honing current mass production projects and developing existing client issues in addition to exploring new territory. Through shared projects, we collaborate closely with our clients and partners, solving issues right now to advance new products. With future developments, we devise a roadmap on how to combine our own breakthroughs with Canatu CNT to work with new industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more progress we make with carbon nanotubes, the more opportunities it creates. We are driven by a passion to be part of introducing new, better products and solutions that will touch people\u2019s lives. When collaborating, we share our expertise and open up new avenues for the people we work with. Sometimes a breakthrough is one tiny solution away \u2013\u202fa nano solution can have a massive impact.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
