Materialytics, LLC has developed new technology for automatic identification and classification of materials. Our approach to this problem is so unconventional that we've coined it "Quantagenetics;" quanta (light), genetics (origin). Simply put, it is the science of classifying materials automatically, with no reliance on human judgment. Our technology uses Quantagenetics® to harness Big Data. We analyze massive data sets comprised of individual material signatures, allowing us to compare almost any sample of material with materials from known sources and provide answers regarding its origin and history.
