Press Releases

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded research programs from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The programs include:

Electrical Power from Thermal Energy Scavenging in High Temperature Environments. PSI and our university partner are developing a novel approach to scavenging heat from high intensity thermal environments encountered during space missions and converting this thermal power into electrical power at high efficiency.

Physical Sciences Inc., (PSI), has been awarded a contract from The U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center to develop Switchable Metamaterial Infra-Red Filters (SMIRFs) based on novel phase change materials incorporated into dielectric metamaterials.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force, Wright-Patterson, to mature and transition the PSI fabric coating technology for production of ceramic composite components for aerospace and other applications.

Under a program from the National Institutes of Health, Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) is developing a new non-invasive imaging techniques able to accurately quantify biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis, and quantification of complications in type 1 diabetes (T1D) such as diabetic retinopathy (DR).

The lease at 6 Riverside Drive represents continued expansion of Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and its Tactical Robotics Division, manufacturer of the InstantEye^® line of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. PSI has its corporate headquarters at 20 New England Business Center, also in Andover.

Under a program from the National Institutes of Health, Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) are developing an affordable optogenetics/ two-photon (2P) imaging instrument that will enable simultaneous manipulation and recording of neuronal activity.

Under a program from the U.S. Army, Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and Q-Peak Inc. are developing a compact, LWIR Lidar based on a state-of-the art LWIR laser transmitter to supplement aircraft survivability equipment.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research contract from the Department of Energy to demonstrate the feasibility of a highly compact, automated, low power ceilometer to make retrievals of cloud base and boundary layer heights from remote unattended sites. The ceilometer is based on a fiber laser lidar design and packaged using state-of-the-art techniques for environmental stability.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) was recently presented with a 2016 Tibbetts Award from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) by Maria Contreras-Sweet, SBA Administrator and Mark Walsh, SBA Associate Administrator at a ceremony on the White House grounds in Washington, DC on January 10, 2017.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the US Army Medical Research to develop a novel stereo-endoscopy approach that can be used for intraocular surgical guidance.
