LASiS: Patented Nanomanufacturing at Scale
Sphota's SHEN (Self-Heating Energetic Nanocomposite) particles are synthesized using our proprietary Laser Ablation Synthesis in Solution platform—a high-speed, scalable manufacturing technique developed through DoD-funded research at the University of Miami.
01 / Precision Synthesis
The LASiS platform utilizes localized laser energy to synthesize high-purity energetic nanoparticles directly within liquid media, ensuring zero contamination and uniform particle distribution for high-performance applications.
02 / Advanced Validation
Bridging the gap between laboratory research and industrial application, Sphota's technology is currently advancing from TRL-3 to TRL-5, validated through strategic collaborations with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
03 / Scaled Integration
With multiple issued patents, our proprietary platform is engineered for seamless integration into existing manufacturing workflows, enabling drone manufacturers to scale production without compromising structural integrity.
LASiS: Patented Nanomanufacturing at Scale
Sphota's SHEN particles are synthesized using our proprietary Laser Ablation Synthesis in Solution (LASiS) platform — a high-speed, scalable manufacturing technique originally developed through DoD-funded research at the University of Miami. Multiple issued and pending patents cover both the synthesis process and the resulting energetic nanocomposites.
