Diamond Detectors successfully tested for tritium detection
04 September, 2025
The counterpart of our diamond technology is our detectors activity. We've been developing solid-state detectors for real-time and in-situ measurement of tritium in gas funded by the UKAEA. We've recently achieved successful testing of two different detector prototypes using an electron gun to simulate tritium betas down to a 1nA electron beam current.
First Pre-commercial Diamond Devices SuccessfullyTested
21 August, 2025
Achieving another significant milestone for Arkenlight, the University of Bristol team working with Smolsys Ltd., in Switzerland have successfully fabricated and tested a pre-commercial diamond diode prototype device! The technology is really is becoming a physical reality!
First C-14 Devices Successfully Grown
29 September, 2024
Unveiling a significant milestone for Arkenlight, the University of Bristol team working with the UKAEA have grown the first ever Carbon-14 diamond and the first Carbon-14 diamond diode devices too! The technology is no longer just a good idea but is a physical reality! Please look out for our landmark news story which is about to break via major news outlets.
Seeking to Grow
September 1, 2024
It's been a busy summer and the research team have been beavering away on proving out several different ways of making diamond beta-batteries working with the UKAEA and Smolsys ltd. Progress has been made on 3 different types of devices which we hope to be able to show people in the very near future!
We expect soon to be going out for a major investment to enable growth of the team and to establish a pilot-scale production facility for our amazing devices.
Keeping things quiet
March 16, 2024
We've been developing our technology behind closed doors, filing patents and making prototypes. Most importantly, we've not been disclosing technical details of what we're doing to avoid people trying to copy us. Maintaining our technological lead over our competitors is really important for enabling our success.
