Pulsed Light has been around for a long time, but these days research efforts are growing faster than ever. R&D labs in companies, universities, and government are exploring a myriad of applications such as decontaminating and fortifying food products, sanitizing...
What’s exciting about Pulsed Light is the seemingly endless list of beneficial uses for the technology that have been discovered. And we keep learning of more. It was in this vein that two years ago, XENON launched the campaign “What could you do with high-energy...
For the past decade, Thad Druffel has been developing materials and processes for roll-to-roll manufacturing of commercial renewable energy devices, with a particular interest in the use of Pulsed Light. He has written over 20 papers on the subject, and has used XENON...
Dr. Josh Cassar has been researching Pulsed Light’s application in food safety for years, with one project in particular receiving a significant amount of attention: Pulsed Light processing of chicken eggs. Dr. Cassar earned his PhD at Penn State, and there has...
In universities, companies, and government laboratories around the world, scientists are researching Pulsed Light. Try Googling the phrase “high-energy Pulsed Light” and you’ll be directed to hundreds of research studies and experiments. And most of these studies...
The next decade will be full of advancements in food safety, with technology innovation driving new procedures to prevent contamination outbreaks. At least, that’s the goal of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, as these key...
As applications for Pulsed Light keep growing, so does interest in research and product development. Companies and universities are actively investigating what Pulsed Light can do and where it can be applied. XENON supports these efforts with benchtop products...
2020 has given us all a heightened awareness of dangerous pathogens, whether they are in the air we breathe or the food we eat. When the Covid-19 pandemic is a distant memory, the need to protect ourselves will remain. Pulsed Light is playing a growing role in this...
Ever since XENON asked me to write some blogs for them, I’ve been struggling with a simple question: how do I talk about a specialized technology that’s easy to explain, but it’s not obvious why you might need or want it? You see, I’ve been writing about technology my...
