New Mexico Patent of the Month – May 2025
Gold Standard Radiation Detection Inc. has developed a self-powered radiation sensor that could redefine how industries monitor high-dose radiation. U.S. Patent No. 12298188, titled ‘Radiation powered high dose rate and high dose radiation sensor’, introduces a compact device that works without external power. It offers real-time, reliable radiation detection—essential in high-risk fields like nuclear energy and emergency response.
Thermoelectric Design Delivers Built-In Power
The sensor generates electricity from radiation itself. It uses thermoelectric junctions layered with alternating shielding. As radiation hits the device, it creates temperature differences that convert into an electric signal. Because of this setup, the sensor operates independently—no batteries or external systems required. Moreover, the design supports precise, consistent readings in real time.
Reliable in Emergencies and Remote Settings
Thanks to its self-sustaining power source, the sensor performs even during blackouts or in isolated environments. It can be built into fixed monitors or worn by workers in nuclear plants, hospitals, or disaster zones. In these settings, immediate feedback on radiation levels can improve decisions and prevent harm. As a result, it enhances safety protocols significantly.
Bringing Innovation to Radiation Safety
By combining simplicity and performance, the sensor from Gold Standard Radiation Detection Inc. could impact multiple industries. Its portability, power independence, and rapid feedback offer a smarter way to manage radiation risks. This breakthrough demonstrates how targeted innovation can save lives and strengthen operational readiness.
