Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS)

Solicitation # S-196281

The Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS), identified by solicitation number S-196281, is an AI-driven multiscale simulation platform developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory to predict spatially varying, direction-dependent thermal and electrical transport in systems of up to one million atoms. By utilizing proprietary Site-Projected Thermal Conductivity (SPTC-AI) and Site-Projected Electronic Conductivity (SPEC-AI) modules, the toolkit bridges the gap between high-fidelity atomistic physics and continuum-scale engineering models. The system employs graph neural networks and FEniCSx-based solver modules, such as sptc2fem and spec2fem, to generate precise temperature and current maps while maintaining atomic-scale anisotropy. This allows engineers to identify localized hot-spots and transport pathways that are typically missed by conventional continuum models, reducing simulation runtimes from days to minutes. Currently at Technology Readiness Level 4 with a pending U.S. patent and associated software T5032, SCACS is offered as a licensing opportunity through the Richard P. Feynman Center for Innovation. The technology is designed for seamless integration with industry-standard finite-element solvers like Abaqus and has broad commercial applications in semiconductor advanced packaging, fusion energy systems, aerospace, battery thermal management, and quantum device manufacturing. The opportunity is managed by the Department of Energy via Triad, with a response deadline of February 16, 2027.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: SiloGetter

Solicitation # S-167718

SiloGetter is a technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory featuring a 3D-printable siloxane composite designed to capture hydrogen in sealed electronics, vacuum instruments, and metal containers. The material utilizes a palladium-on-carbon catalyst and DEB embedded in a gas-permeable siloxane polymer to absorb over 80 percent of encountered hydrogen. This innovation allows for the creation of custom, high-surface-area shapes via direct ink writing using nozzles as fine as 400 microns, providing a durable alternative to brittle pellets or loose powders. The composite is significantly more efficient than previous versions, carrying roughly 50 percent getter by weight, which is nearly ten times the capacity of earlier materials. It remains chemically stable at temperatures up to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring mechanical integrity and high absorption efficiency. This technology is particularly applicable for microelectronics packaging, aerospace components, and ultrahigh vacuum scientific instrumentation. The opportunity is currently at TRL 4 with a pending U.S. patent and is available for exclusive or non-exclusive licensing.

High-Capacity Hydrogen and Hydrogen Isotope Getters

Solicitation # S-193538

Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed a new class of high-capacity hydrogen and hydrogen isotope getters designed to permanently remove hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium from sealed environments. This technology, based on novel organic alkyne chemistry, prevents the corrosion of metals, degradation of electronic components, and potential explosion hazards associated with hydrogen buildup. Unlike conventional zirconium-based getters, this solution operates across a broad temperature range without requiring activation, maintains rapid capture rates over a larger storage capacity, and functions at pressures well below atmospheric levels. It is also capable of selectively removing hydrogen in mixed-gas environments containing helium, nitrogen, argon, and methane. The technology is currently at Technology Readiness Level 4 with a pending U.S. patent and is available for commercial integration in various forms, including pellets, coatings, thin films, powders, strands, and printable pastes. Potential market applications span semiconductor and microelectronics packaging, aerospace, defense, medical devices, nuclear material storage, and cryogenic equipment. This special notice, identified by solicitation number S-193538 and managed by the Department of Energy through Triad, seeks to move this invention into commercial use via exclusive or non-exclusive licensing agreements through the Feynman Center for Innovation.
