About Us

 Mission

Master the science of the rare-earth allowing us to provide world class solutions with Intelligent Material®.

Our Story

Science was invented for the good of humanity and it allows us to decipher the mysterious puzzle of the universe. Technology is the product of science. Technology provides superior quality of life which is the same for all humans - longevity, security, clean environment. We have realized that energy converting crystals are a key piece to the mystery. These basic ideas shape our mission and motivates our life.

IMS was founded in 2010 and located in the iconic RCA Sarnoff Labs in Princeton, NJ. Sarnoff is the birthplace of the TV and modern electronics, much of which was based on cutting edge phosphorescent materials. IMS continues this tradition through the advancement of material technologies and detection equipment. Intelligent Materials Solutions (IMS) develops authentication/identification technologies and specialty applications that leverage Intelligent Material®, our precision-engineered crystals, to meet challenging customer needs.
