About Irradiant Technologies Inc.

The ability to pattern arbitrary 3D structures on the nanometer scale offers unprecedented control over photons, phonons, and electrons, which in turn has the potential to revolutionize almost every aspect of modern technology. Implosion Fabrication can realize this revolution. As featured in Science Magazine, NIH, and CNN, Implosion Fabrication allows for ultrafast and affordable 3D assembly of mixed materials. Assemblies can include a wide range of materials in any geometry with nanoscale precision and gradient control. The possible applications of this technology are nearly limitless. Sub-wavelength structuring of optical materials enables the creation of flat meta-optics that outperform traditional bulk optics and that can compress complex optical functions into a single nanometer scale film. Complete three dimensional control of nanoscale multi-material structures makes it possible to create integrated optical circuits with unique optical components. Potential applications extend beyond optics, including the use of nanostructures to separate the transport properties of phonons and electrons for energy harvesting and thermal management technologies. Other possibilities incl...ude ultrahigh density data storage, implantable biointerfaces, mechanical metamaterials, nanolaser and nanoantenna arrays, and more. So far, we have garnered early stage support from the Activate Fellowship, E14 Fund, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the Department of Energy, US Navy, DARPA and the National Science Foundation, and are poised to grow rapidly to start making a large impact.
