SAFI-Tech is a startup company with a patent-pending technology that uses supercooled liquid metal particles to solder electronic components without heat. The liquid metal powder of these particles is their patented Liquital® 62 product the company is commercializing. SAFI-Tech's supercooled metal inks enable flexible electronics manufacturers to form interconnects or conductive traces without thermal damage. The technology consists of water-balloon-like microparticles of liquid metal solders in a metastable supercooled state. These particles can be mechanically broken or chemically triggered to release the liquid metal, which then rapidly solidifies. SAFI-Tech's vision is to provide supercooled metal technology to electronics manufacturers to solve issues caused by high temperature processes . SAFI-Tech was award the Technical Development Materials Award at the 2016 IDTechEx Show.

HyperDamping is revolutionizing the world of sound and vibration damping with proprietary and patent-pending technology. HyperDamping stops vibration, shock, and noise by combining material science with structural engineering to create a superior damping system. Vibrations and shocks cause noise and damage to consumer electronics, vehicles, aircraft, building and gym floors, industrial equipment, and other everyday products. Existing solutions trade-off damping ability against weight and cost. HyperDamping eliminates that trade-off by utilizing the principles of structural mechanics to create cost-effective, lightweight, and extreme damping properties in elastic materials. HyperDamping is a Rhapsody Venture Partners backed start-up, spun-out of Ohio State University, based in Columbus, OH.
