AI-designed solid-state enzymes that program spec-grade crystal growth from metal-rich waste. One platform for lithium, rare earths, carbonates, and beyond.
Lithium, rare earths, high-grade carbonates — demand is surging from EV batteries, semiconductors, and clean energy infrastructure. But mining is slow, geopolitically constrained, and environmentally devastating.
No existing process can program spec-grade crystals from metal-rich waste at scale. The feedstock already exists — in steel slag, recycled magnets, brine, and industrial CO₂ — but the technology to precisely convert it into the minerals we need doesn't. Until now.
Free enzymes in solution can catalyse crystal formation, but they denature in hours, can't survive industrial temperatures, and are impossible to recover and reuse.
Attaching enzymes to surfaces improves stability, but the binding process damages catalytic activity. Performance degrades rapidly under real industrial conditions.
Conventional high-temperature, high-pressure methods require enormous energy input and capital expenditure — and produce imprecise, inconsistent crystal output.
Not biology in a factory. A new class of engineered material that programs crystal growth with deterministic precision under industrial conditions.
The enzyme IS the material. No immobilisation needed — it self-assembles into a solid catalytic structure that withstands extreme conditions.
Proprietary AI solves enzyme physics to design proteins that control crystal nucleation and growth at the molecular level.
Survives 100°C boiling. No degradation under real-world conditions. Built for continuous operation in modular reactors.
Specify the crystal, get the crystal. Deterministic growth means spec-grade minerals every time — polymorphism, particle size, purity to order.
A software-defined pipeline for material fabrication. Industry specifies what they need — our platform delivers it.
Industry provides target mineral specifications — polymorphism, particle size, purity grade.
Proprietary engine designs the optimal enzyme structure from available feedstock parameters.
Solid-state enzyme controls crystal nucleation and growth with precision in modular reactors.
Spec-grade programmed crystals — from industrial waste to critical minerals at scale.
Starting with calcium carbonate from cement plants — a proven beachhead with an existing LOI. Then expanding across rare earths, lithium, battery materials, and semiconductor feedstock.
Protein-templated material assembly is a new manufacturing paradigm. We're building the platform for programming material formation at the molecular level — from industrial waste to precision-engineered crystals, at software speed.
This isn't incremental improvement to existing processes. It's a fundamentally new approach to how materials are made.
