UltraSep is an intelligent ultrasonic separation platform that leverages real-time resonance locking and energy-per-removal optimization to deliver precision acoustic separation with minimal power consumption. By continuously tracking system eigenfrequencies and dynamically adjusting ultrasonic frequency and amplitude, the system maintains optimal acoustic coupling regardless of flow conditions, eliminating wasteful off-frequency energy and significantly improving particle removal efficiency. This closed-loop adaptive control replaces mechanically complex and fouling-prone technologies like centrifugation and filtration with a low-energy, high-performance acoustic platform integrated with proprietary software and chemistry-enhanced processes, creating a scalable solution that reduces operating costs and increases recovery rates across diverse industries. The technology is protected by a layered intellectual property portfolio including issued U.S. patents covering acoustic manipulation based on eigenfrequency and ultra-low power separation, with expiration dates extending through 2039, and a pending patent application for pH-controlled ultrasonic separation. The platform is further safeguarded by copyrighted control software built on C++ and LabVIEW, managing acoustic tuning, fluidic timing, and flow-path operations in tandem. Designed as a modular system rather than a single device, UltraSep is applicable across nuclear materials processing, rare earth recovery, pharmaceutical and food production, bioprocessing, and environmental remediation, offering a defensible, next-generation separation solution backed by DOE-owned IP and available for licensing through a solicitation open until October 1, 2026.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Multi-Channel Atomic Magnetometer (MCAM)
Solicitation # S-133667
The Multi-Channel Atomic Magnetometer (MCAM) is a breakthrough non-cryogenic optical quantum sensor that delivers SQUID-level sensitivity to ultra-faint biomagnetic signals using a single shared vapor cell and optical system to generate up to 16 independent sensing channels simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple independent sensor units. Unlike traditional systems that rely on liquid helium-cooled SQUIDs, MCAM operates at room temperature using a large alkali-metal vapor cell, broad pump and probe laser beams, and a photodiode array to detect magnetic field-induced polarization rotations via the Faraday effect. Buffer gas within the cell isolates spatial regions behind each photodiode pixel, enabling high-resolution, two-dimensional magnetic field mapping without cryogens, significantly reducing costs and complexity. The rear-mirror optical design shortens the sensor-to-source distance, enhancing spatial resolution, while fiber-optic coupling allows modules to be tiled into conformal helmet or surface arrays that adapt to patient anatomy, supporting applications from brain and heart imaging to pediatric and point-of-care diagnostics. MCAM’s architecture scales efficiently to hundreds of channels and is compatible with adjustable bias coils and multiple alkali-metal and buffer-gas combinations, making it highly flexible for diverse configurations. It achieves sensitivity in the low tens of femtotesla per root hertz at low frequencies while drastically cutting per-channel expenses by sharing critical components across all channels. Ongoing development aims to shrink the effective sensing volume from centimeter to micrometer scale, opening the door to cellular-level magnetic imaging—capabilities unattainable by current cryogenic or conventional room-temperature systems. Applications span medical diagnostics such as magnetoencephalography and magnetocardiography, cancer detection via magnetic particle imaging, low-field MRI, geomagnetic surveying, and fundamental physics research. The technology, protected by U.S. Patent 11,105,865 and currently at TRL 4, is available for licensing through Los Alamos National Laboratory, offering exclusive and non-exclusive opportunities to commercialize a platform poised to revolutionize biomagnetic sensing by making high-performance imaging accessible, mobile, and cost-effective.
