'It's amazing' – the wonder material very few can make

Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT), a hard-to-manufacture material, is revolutionizing medical imaging, enabling detailed 3D lung scans in just 15 minutes. Kromek, one of the few companies producing CZT, is at the forefront of this technological advancement. CZT's applications extend beyond healthcare to include X-ray telescopes and security scanners. Despite increasing demand for CZT, its scarcity poses challenges for researchers like Prof. Krawczynski, illustrating the material's importance in various scientific fields.
