Formerly known as Applied Nanotechnologies, Inc, Xintek is a nanotechnology company specializing in carbon nanotubes and related materials, carbon nanotube field emission electron source for both industrial and medical application, nanotube x-ray source and systems for preclinical and clinical application including micro-CT, micro-RT, tomosynthesis scanner for cancer detections and therapy, and nanotechnology based radiotherapy machines. Xintek, Inc. develops and manufactures nanotechnology-enabled products for a broad range of applications including diagnostic medical imaging, homeland security, and information display. Technologies covered by over 40 issued and pending U.S. patents obtained through licensing agreements with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and Duke University, and from in-house R&D efforts. Prominent in nanotechnology based electron field emission technology. Have developed proprietary technologies for high performance electron field emitters, field emission x-ray sources, and new diagnostic x-ray imaging systems. Thefirmâs nanomaterial based electron field emitters are used today by major display manufacturers for their field emission display development. With partners at UNC have developed a ground-breaking new x-ray source technology that generates spatially and temporally modulated x-ray radiation. The technology fundamentally changes how x-ray radiation is generated and enables the design of new x-ray imaging systems including CT scanners with enhanced performances and new capabilities. These have now been evaluated for a wide range of applications including medical imaging, preclinical cancer studies and homeland security
