At Neurophos, we pioneer a revolutionary approach to AI computation, leveraging the vast potential of light. Our cutting-edge technology, powered by optical metasurfaces and silicon photonics, introduces a new era of ultra-fast, high-density AI inference that outstrips the capabilities of traditional silicon photonics.
Silicon Photonics: Speed Is Key
While our metasurface ensures high density, we haven't compromised on speed. We integrate high-speed silicon photonics to feed our metasurface in-memory processor, leveraging its high modulation speeds. The result is a fast, efficient vector-matrix multiplication engine that combines the density of the metasurface with the velocity of silicon photonics modulators.
High-Density Metasurface: Size Matters
Our metasurface elements function as optical in-memory compute elements that are thousands of times smaller than traditional silicon photonics modulators, allowing our architecture to process vastly larger matrices on chip. This results in an unprecedented increase in the computational density that provides a major advantage over conventional silicon photonics. In optical computing, energy efficiency is proportional to array size, so our processor is hundreds of times more efficient than the state of the art.
The Neurophos Advantage
At Neurophos, our mission is to deliver AI computation solutions that are not just faster, but more efficient and denser. Our unique approach combines the best of optical metasurfaces and silicon photonics, offering an AI inference acceleration solution that is poised to reshape the AI landscape.

OUR VISION
-Overhauling Decades of Light Emitting Diode (LED) Display Technology-
Since the invention of the first light-emitting diode (LED) over a century ago, solid-state lighting technology has since become ubiquitous, from home and commercial lighting, to various display technologies. MicroLEDs (LEDs < 100 μm), are the sought-after Holy Grail of the display industry due to their improved energy efficiency, faster response time, and higher pixel density, which lend to superior display resolution and performance compared to the MiniLED (LEDs >100 μm) technology of the past few decades. Moreover, the current manufacturing practice of selectively placing millions of tiny RGB LEDs is an extremely challenging and cost-prohibitive process.
As a stealth startup, we have developed a series of innovations that revolutionize microLED technology, from material growth to device fabrication and assembly. These novel approaches are based on our core technology: the polychromatic RGB microLED. Our polychromatic LED is a revolutionary device which replaces the century-old monochromatic LED, and promises to solve several key issues with decade-old microLED display technology.
At Q-Pixel we aim to overcome the obstacle of high fabrication costs and to dramatically streamline the LED display assembly processes. Our objective is not only to significantly reduce the cost, but also to minimize the number of defective pixels and maximize assembly speed for high-yield, high-throughput, foldable large area (>100 inch) microLED displays. Notably, our technology is also entirely transferrable to smaller displays, such as mobile phones, tablets, personal computers, and wearable devices (Smartwatches/AR/VR).
Please wait and see what Q-Pixel can do for the display industry!

Dover Microsystems’ CoreGuard® technology is the only solution for embedded systems that prevents the exploitation of software vulnerabilities and immunizes processors against entire classes of network-based attacks.
Forget Everything You Know About Cybersecurity
On average, all complex software contains up to 50 bugs per 1,000 lines of code. So, it’s no surprise that nearly every cyberattack relies on exploiting a software vulnerability. Today’s cybersecurity solutions focus on building defensive software around networks and applications to protect our embedded systems. Rather than securing the system, this approach actually increases a system’s vulnerability by adding yet another layer of inherently flawed software. As a result, companies and individuals are left even more exposed.

Its efficiency, agility and robustness allow it to address a large number of markets, many of which are ill-served by current wireless technologies. The SPARK Radio is a wireless transceiver that is more effective than any existing technology, increasing the energy efficiency of wireless communication and enhancing battery life. This is made possible by a unique architecture that provides an order of magnitude better energy efficiency than the state-of-the-art, and this improvement is achieved through key circuit and system level innovations. Our goal is to significantly extend the limited battery life of electronics that require short-range wireless communications, as well as to increase the robustness and agility of their wireless links.

Within the lines of a fingerprint is the roadmap that makes each one of us unique. At EXOKĒRYX, our roadmap to transforming early disease detection combines principles from the semiconductor industry with breakthrough biotechnology.
Exosomes are crucial to cellular communication within our bodies and hold the key to early cancer detection.
EXOKĒRYX is revolutionizing early-stage cancer diagnostics by combining the power of solid-state electronics with exosome-based biomarker discovery.
We are developing a novel chip-based platform that leverages the dipole moments of exosomes to isolate, and transistor technology to quantify and analyze them in biological fluids to create your CancerFingerprintTM.
From a few drops of biological fluid, we can identify biomarkers with greater sensitivity than standard methods. This level of sensitivity allows for the detection of cancer and other serious disease earlier than is possible with current technologies.
Meaning we can extend quality of life by avoiding therapy pathways that are as harmful as the disease itself.
It’s time to usher in the new next generation technology.
It’s time to put our fingerprint on positive patient outcomes.
