What the Project Is
Atomic Precision is viewed as a game-changer in the world of high-value technologies. The project is built on a scalable and adaptable platform that powers innovations across sectors like batteries, defense, and semiconductors. At its core is Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), a process enabling atomic level engineering and nanoscale surface enhancement. Forge Nano’s proprietary technology, Atomic Armor™, applies ultra-thin, conformal coatings with speed and precision. By engineering a nano shield that prevents negative reactions, Atomic Armor unlocks product performance in ways that were once unimaginable… this is precision nano-coating reimagined.
Main Benefit
- Improved battery capacity and durability – enabling faster charging, extended lifetime, and enhanced safety.
- Superior conformal coatings for semiconductor wafers with robust film properties and precise thickness control.
- Enhanced printing processes – making stronger 3D-printed parts by adjusting melt and oxidation windows.
- Stabilization of catalysts – reducing energy consumption in chemical manufacturing while extending catalyst life.
- Optimized pharmaceutical powders – tightened thermostability, improved flowability, and extended shelf life.
Atomic Layer Deposition Technology
Atomic Layer Deposition is at the heart of the innovation. This technology provides a way to build better materials by applying coatings at the atomic level. Atomic Armor uses ALD to protect materials against degradation, thermal runaway, and unwanted reactions. The nano shield produced acts almost like a microscopic firewall, resisting harmful reactions and optimizing performance. It’s a process that is both efficient and cost-effective, unlocking potential in every material it touches – from semiconductors to printed parts.
Revolutionizing Battery Performance
In a time of transformative energy shifts, the demand for better batteries has never been higher. Atomic Armor has been designed specifically to meet the needs of electric vehicles and modern energy storage devices. By protecting against first cycle capacity loss and unwanted chemical reactions, the technology boosts battery charge rates and longevity. Picture a battery that not only lasts longer but also recharges faster and operates more safely – that’s the promise here. The result is a solution that is cheaper, more efficient, and accessible across numerous applications, inspiring a truly electrifying shift away from fossil fuels.
Innovations in Semiconductor Coatings
Semiconductor fabrication stands to benefit enormously. Atomic Armor delivers ultra-thin, hermetic, and pinhole-free coatings on semiconductor wafers and fully assembled packages. With excellent uniformity and low-stress film properties, this coating technology is a step ahead of traditional methods. It provides precise control over thickness, ensuring that every part of a semiconductor is protected and performing at peak potential. This innovation opens doors for applications in displays, fuel cells, and even emissions treatment, proving its broad relevance in modern industry.
Advanced Applications in Diverse Industries
Beyond batteries and semiconductors, Atomic Armor is creating ripples across various sectors. In 3D printing, for example, the technology adjusts sintering conditions to create stronger parts and even modify reaction windows for new alloys. It plays a crucial role in catalysis by preventing unwanted reactions during regeneration processes, thus reducing energy consumption and material use. In the realm of pharmaceuticals, it enhances the thermostability and flowability of powders, ensuring that products are not only more efficient but also safer. Brief pauses in conventional processes yield dramatic improvements in product efficacy and shelf life.
