X-Centric Sciences is a Public Benefit Corporation.
We are currently engaged in research and development of systems to rapidly and efficiently characterize soils including carbon and density.
Our R&D is conducted in lockstep with our patent filings. We have multiple patents pending covering our systems.
Our R&D has been, or will be published after patent filings are completed. See select publications below.
Focus
Soil carbon is important to agricultural systems because it is a key driving variable in overall crop productivity. Its quantification has recently gained importance with the introduction of the United Nations (UN) 4p1000 initiative which aims to mitigate climate change via the sequestration of carbon within agricultural soils thereby reducing atmospheric CO2 (with the added benefit of increased crop productivity and thus increased global food security).
As a corollary to this initiative, some member countries are mobilizing and implementing policies and frameworks to promote increasing agricultural soil carbon. As a result, technological advances for soil characterization are needed to increase throughput and decrease costs of analyses.
