Research
We take on problems at the edge of what’s possible in materials, sensing, and communication, with national laboratories and research partners, and carry the answers out of the lab.
01Research Areas
What the lab is working on
Materials · Flagship
Magnetostrictive Thin Films
High-strain films grown by aqueous electrodeposition, a process previously thought to require molten salt.

Research with the labs, not just near them
- 01Cooperative researchCRADAs and joint work with national laboratories, like our through-barrier program with Los Alamos.
- 02Fellowships & state programsLos Alamos LEEP and New Mexico's TRGR program, which funded our hydrogen sensing work with Sandia.
- 03Federal R&DSBIR/STTR and research contracts, as an R&D firm under NAICS 541715.
- 13
- issued U.S. patents across the team
- 39
- years combined national-lab experience
- Class 5
- in-house cleanroom for device fabrication
