  • Samarium Magnet Replacement (VIREON)

    A single point of critical national supply chain risk, resolved in 2 months

    Samarium is vital for defence systems. China controls 94% of supply. Each Joint Strike Fighter needs 22kg of samarium magnets. For programmes reliant on jets, missiles, and radar, the samarium supply chain is a critical national security risk.

  • Tantalum Carbide Replacement (QB)

    Tantalum carbide: Building domestic capability where performance cannot be compromised

    Tantalum carbide is an ultra-high-performance material used in aerospace, defence electronics, and extreme-environment applications, such as hypersonic missile technology.

Synthesis pathway

Discovery is only the first step. Scale is the destination

A validated material matters only if produced at industrial volume. Each candidate follows a scale-up path: lab synthesis, verification, tuning, and industrial production with partners across allied nations.

Working on advanced materials where supply chain resilience and performance both matter?
