Cal Nano is proud to annouce that it's collaborative with work with Sandia National Lab and Sal Rodriguez titled “Machinable, Larger-Scale, Self-Healing Refractory High-Entropy Alloys for Energy and Aerospace Applications” was awarded an R&D 100 award! Last week, Cal Nano's CEO Eric Eyerman got the opportunity to attend the R&D 100 Awards. The R&D 100 Awards have been a hallmark of innovation for over 60 years, celebrating revolutionary advancements in science and technology. The annual gala is a special event that honors the remarkable achievements of the teams behind these innovations and serves as an important networking opportunity for leading innovators to connect and exchange ideas. This R&D100 award winning project represents a significant leap in the manufacturing of refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs). By refining key variables such as temperature, pressure, and process time using the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method, the team achieved larger-scale, high-quality RHEA components designed for commercial applications in energy and aerospace. Previously, RHEA production was limited to small lab samples weighing fractions of an ounce. Through advanced manufacturing techniques and ongoing optimization, the team set a world record by creating a single-piece RHEA component weighing 7.72 pounds and measuring 10.3 inches by 8.6 inches by 0.26 inches. This groundbreaking achievement paves the way for broader applications in strategic industries like aerospace, energy, and national security, while also creating new opportunities for commercial scalability. At Cal Nano, we are excited about these advancements as they align with our mission to drive innovation in material science. With our expertise in cryogenic and planetary milling of RHEA and superalloy powders and our advanced suite of in-house SPS systems, we are proud to have contributed to this groundbreaking project. Special thanks are given to the entire Team for their irreplaceable expertise, support, and professionalism: Sandia National Laboratories; Westwind in Albuquerque, New Mexico; CalNano in California; DRS Research and Plasma Technology Inc. in California; Applied Surface Engineering in Albuquerque, NM; the University of New Mexico; Saavedra Precision Inc. in Albuquerque, NM; and Penn State, PA.   Invaluable technical commercialization guidance and support were provided by Northrup Grumman in San Diego; Dynetics in Huntsville, Alabama; Flibe Energy in Huntsville; the Air Force Research Lab and Global Materials Services in Fairborn, Ohio; as well as Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Finally, the Team is very grateful to the US Department of Energy for their visionary lead towards advanced superalloys and for funding this project.

The global pursuit of sustainable and clean energy has placed the nuclear industry—and the promising field of fusion reactors—at the forefront of technological innovation. A pivotal factor in advancing these energy sources is the development of materials capable of withstanding the extreme conditions within reactors. Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) emerges as a transformative technology, offering innovative solutions to meet these rigorous demands. Spark Plasma Sintering is an advanced technique that consolidates powdered materials into fully dense solids through the simultaneous application of uniaxial pressure and a pulsed electrical current. This process enables rapid heating and cooling cycles, allowing for lower sintering temperatures and shorter processing times compared to traditional methods. The result is the production of materials with superior mechanical and thermal properties, tailored for high-performance applications. In the context of nuclear and fusion energy, materials are routinely exposed to high temperatures, intense radiation, and corrosive environments. SPS addresses these challenges by producing materials with enhanced radiation resistance and thermal stability. The precise control over microstructures afforded by SPS leads to materials that maintain integrity and performance under the harsh conditions of reactor operation. At Cal Nano, we have expanded our SPS capabilities to manufacture large-scale components, 16+ inches in diameter and several inches thick. This capacity is significant for the nuclear industry, which often requires sizable and complex parts such as reactor vessels, shielding elements, and structural supports. By providing larger components, we align with the industry’s needs for materials that not only exhibit exceptional properties but also meet specific dimensional requirements. #CalNano #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy #SoCal #MaterialsScience #MaterialsEngineering #RandD #SparkPlasmaSintering

California Nanotechnologies Corp. ("Cal Nano" or the "Company") is pleased to announce quarterly revenues of US$1,522,185 for the fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2024. This represents an increase of 122% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS) showed significant improvements at US$808,970 for the quarter compared with US$292,564 in the prior year period. The improvement represented another all-time quarterly record due to higher revenue generation from manufacturing services and an improvement in gross margin, which was partly offset by higher overhead costs to support the expansion into the Company’s new Santa Ana facility. A net loss of US$655,031 for the quarter was recorded, compared to net income of US$213,674 in the same period last year. The net loss in the quarter was mainly due to a non-cash charge in the amount US$1,205,356 relating to losses from the realized and unrealized gains on share purchase warrants. This non-cash charge arises from IFRS accounting rules and the Company's reporting in U.S. dollars, while its outstanding warrants are denominated in Canadian dollars. The increase in Cal Nano’s share price during the fiscal quarter led to the increase in this derivative liability, resulting in the expense. Once these warrants are exercised or expire, this non-cash charge is expected to cease appearing on the Company’s financial results. “We are happy to report another strong quarter at a time when we also focused on getting our new equipment and infrastructure online at our Santa Ana facility,” stated CEO Eric Eyerman. “With the commissioning of our new facility now successfully completed, we have started making parts for customers which is expected to impact our revenue in Q3/FY2025 and onward. While it’s too early to be certain about Q3 results, this potentially sets us up for another record revenue quarter. Our attention is now fully focused on increasing the utilization of the new manufacturing capacity, building out our human capital, and scaling our processes.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gNQMUYyX
