Radio Corporation of America, 1950s

The development of phosphors dates back to the early 20th century, with significant advancements made in the mid-century that revolutionized technology. A major milestone was the creation of the red phosphor led by RCA (Radio Corporation of America) enabling the full RGB (red, green, blue) color spectrum for color television in the 1960s. This was a groundbreaking achievement in material science, producing a true red color that was bright, efficient, and long-lasting to transform the way visual content was displayed.

Leading years of material evolution

After 80 years of phosphor development, a new liquid-state synthesis technique lead to a breakthrough. Now, our Intelligent Materials® are the only material on the market that are uniform, allowing for…

  • narrow optical signatures

  • precise quantification (ppm-ppt)

  • multiplexable signals

Achievements & Milestones

  • NovaVera obtained ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) certification which ensures that a company follows standardized processes to enhance product quality, reduce waste, and improve overall operational performance. Having ISO certification for a manufacturing business signifies that the company meets internationally recognized standards for quality, efficiency, and consistency in its operations. It demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement, regulatory compliance, and customer satisfaction.

  • Dr. Christopher Murray (Scientific Advisor, NovaVera) is a Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering at University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Murray was a graduate student under Moungi G. Bawendi, aiding in the discovery and development of quantum dots. These tiny particles have unique properties and require extremely precise crystallography and optic techniques. Later, their invention was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Nature calls Dr. Murray “the unsung scientist behind the Nobel.”

    Dr. Murray continually supports NovaVera’s scientific efforts on the development of Intelligent Material® and sensor systems.

  • Our technology is protected by 20+ patents on material compositions, detection methods, authentication systems, and more. Our core material composition is the result of a novel synthesis technique co-invented with Dr. Chris Murray, cited in the 2023 Chemistry Nobel Prize. NovaVera continues to push the boundaries in material science, chemistry, spectroscopy, and optics.

  • NovaVera’s sister company, Intelligent Material Solutions, Inc., pioneers in the field of rare-earth materials and sensor systems, received the Innovator of the Year award by New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP) in October 2022.

    NJMEP is a non-for-profit organization backed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In celebration of National Manufacturing Day, NJMEP hosts a 'Made in New Jersey' Manufacturing Day event in support and to raise awareness of NJ manufacturers and the benefits they bring.
