Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to create 3D images of density anomalies down to 1km beneath the Earth's surface. A spin-off from TRIUMF (Canada's national particle accelerator laboratory), Ideon is a world pioneer in the application of cosmic-ray muon tomography and has developed a discovery platform that integrates proprietary detectors, imaging systems, inversion technologies, and artificial intelligence techniques to provide x-ray-like visibility underground.

By detecting subsurface muons and transforming the data into reliable geophysical surveys and 3D density maps, Ideon helps geologists identify new mineral and metal deposits with precision and confidence. They drill less and discover more with Ideon - reducing cost and risk, saving time, and minimizing environmental impact. Ideon is also exploring applications of muon tomography to use-cases in critical infrastructure and geotechnical assessment, oil and gas, carbon sequestration, and national security.
