AlixLabs develops nanostructure fabrication solutions based on atomic layer etching (ALE), a damage-free etch process that enables very small feature sizes. Its ALE-based method produces nanostructures with dimensions below 20 nanometers, surpassing the resolution of conventional optical and electron-beam lithography and supporting nanoelectronic device fabrication and advanced transistor channel scaling for sub-20 nanometer technology nodes. The company's technology is designed to integrate into existing semiconductor production workflows, aiming to reduce the number of processing steps while increasing throughput. In addition, it seeks to optimize power and water consumption and emissions in manufacturing, helping semiconductor makers improve efficiency and environmental performance as they advance production.

Retein is a water purification technology company specializing in molecular separation to sustainably recover resources from water. Its platform uses bio-inspired filtration based on stabilized proteins to selectively extract clean water and valuable materials, such as lithium, and integrates with diverse water sources to enable industries and resource managers to recover high-purity outputs with reduced energy use and environmental impact. The company aims to advance resource efficiency by combining advanced material recovery with low-energy processes, supporting a more sustainable water cycle.
