The world urgently needs new materials to replace or enhance outdated ones that decay quickly and create waste. Traditional materials like cement, steel, plastics, and even current battery chemistries are reaching their performance and sustainability limits. At the same time, graphene—discovered two decades ago—holds immense promise across sectors like construction, defense, energy, and packaging, but remains largely inaccessible due to extreme production costs (often up to $8,000 per gram), poor scalability, and lack of application-specific customization. This has left startups, researchers, and large industries without practical access to the very nanomaterials that could drive the next generation of high-performance products. The market for graphene is around 1.3 BN in 2025 and it is expected to grow to almost 10 billion by 2034.

We received a contract with the Air Force to improve a military uniform against biological and chemical weapons with graphene. We were successful and have been invited to phase II. We were also able to mix graphene with cement and improve it 24% in compression resistance without agglomeration. We did this in 7 hours. The two largest producers of cement in the word tried for 5 years and could not avoid agglomeration issues. We are working with 14 companies at different levels of engagement to enhance or create new products with.
