Homegrown Technology

Starfire Industries produces the nGen® and Centurion® ultra-compact particle accelerators used for medical therapy, environmental sensing, nuclear security, and non-destructive imaging.  Starfire produces the IMPULSE® and RADION™ pulsed power plasma sources and systems used for nuclear fuel fabrication, superconductor coatings, semiconductor EUV lithography, lightweight electric vehicle assembly, high-temperature aerospace materials, and thin-film deposition and etching applications.  Our industry-changing solutions are designed, manufactured, and delivered from their headquarters in Champaign, Illinois to end-users across six continents and Earth orbit.
​
Since graduating from the EnterpriseWorks startup incubator at Research Park at the University of Illinois in 2009, Starfire Industries has grown from concept research & development to manufacturing plasma sources, neutron generators and high-voltage power supplies for a range of industries. In 2022, Starfire relocated its headquarters to an impressive 194,000 square foot technology center. The 3310 N. Duncan Road expansion will enable greater on-site collaborative partnerships, direct services to end-users under strategic supplier agreements, manufacturing and global distribution. This production facility is used for the commercial manufacturing of IMPULSE® pulse modules and thin-film coatings, advanced ​Radion™ plasma sources, ​Centurion® ​particle accelerators and nGen® neutron generator hardware.
