Press Releases

Physical Sciences Inc (PSI), has been awarded a research program from the National Institutes of Health /National Institute of Aging (NIH /NIA) to develop a novel technology that will non-intrusively monitor driver cognitive decline and/or high-risk driving behavior that is especially suited for seniors (aged over 65).

Physical Sciences Inc has been awarded a research contract from the US Army to develop an adaptive free-space optical communication system, capable of maintaining low bit error rate (~ 10-9) over long ranges (> 20 km) by correcting for atmospheric and other environmental factors while operating at eye-safe power levels.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), has been awarded a research program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a novel technique to identify amyloid β-protein (Aβ) deposits in the retina as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

PSI will develop an optical imaging technique capable of non-invasively identifying specific chemical compounds in vivo in the retina with cellular-level resolution and without the use of contrast agents. PSI will validate the ability of this technique to identify early indications of AD.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in partnership with Thor Quantum Electronics (TQE) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Navy to develop and demonstrate a high bandwidth free space optical (FSO) communications link using novel high bandwidth LWIR quantum cascade lasers (QCLs).

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army to develop a novel low-cost wearable sensor to detect exposure to high-power microwave (HPM) weapons.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from DARPA for the enhancement and maturation of BioSIGMA, a persistent early-warning capability for the detection and identification of aerosolized biological warfare agents.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop the Single Image Super Resolution for Quantitative Analysis (QuantSISR) software suite comprising state-of-the-art super-resolution (SR) algorithms optimized to reduce errors during subsequent image analysis such as common computer vision tasks (image segmentation, object detection).

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a sensor and software to provide real-time correction of optical-turbulence-induced distortion in video imagery and enable reduction of optical-turbulence-induced laser beam spread.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the Department of Energy to develop a high-resolution optical microscopy system that can be installed on many common electron microscopes.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Navy to develop a non-intrusive recession rate and surface temperature monitoring system that will be operational in flight test environments.
