Nalu Scientific focuses on the development of advanced mixed-signal integrated circuits, particularly waveform digitizers, aimed at enhancing data acquisition in energy research. The company is recognized for its innovative contributions to particle tracking and time-of-flight measurements, which are essential for high-energy physics experiments. Nalu Scientific has received multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from the Department of Energy to advance System-on-Chip front-end electronics for these applications. The company's staff has established strong collaborations with several U.S. national laboratories and has also engaged in international partnerships, including work with KEK in Japan, further expanding its impact in the field of particle detection technology.

Founded in 1998, ClearFuels Technology Inc. is a leading developer of low-cost advanced renewable biofuels with a well-defined strategy for near-term commercialization of our highly flexible thermochemical platform. ClearFuels employs a proprietary thermochemical steam reformation process that converts multiple mixed cellulosic biomass feedstocks into high-value energy products including ethanol, renewable Fischer-Tropsch or "FT" diesel, hydrogen and electrical power at industry-leading yields. Clearfuels' unique ability to utilize multiple types of feedstock minimizes cost and production impact due to specific feedstock price fluctuations or availability while the ability to produce several types of high-value energy products from the same BTG platform offers the flexibility to meet specific energy demands with lower commodity risks
