Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô

The University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Connection

is an advanced materials company based on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) nanocoating technology. The company merged with ALD NanoSolutions in 2020, an earlier spinout founded in 2001 by Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder faculty, including Ìý(Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder Chemical and Biological Engineering) and Steven M. George (Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder Chemistry).Ìý

ALD NanoSolutions developed innovative Particle ALD technology for precision coating of powders at the atomic scale, with numerous applications in batteries and other materials. This technology received early-stage funding through a partnership between Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder and the Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), which later became Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô's Lab Venture Challenge (LVC). Forge Nano, which also originated from Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder-related research, combined forces with ALD NanoSolutions to consolidate expertise and rapidly scale the atomic-level manufacturing of materials. Forge Nano continues to expand its technology globally, using its proprietary Atomic Armor^TM platform to produce high-performance lithium-ion batteries and commercial semiconductor equipment.
