Mesodyne Inc. has been awarded a research contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as part of the Thermal Engineering using Materials Physics (TEMP) Program. The program helps companies to develop materials and physics to control the wavelength and directionality of radiative heat transfer while simultaneously withstanding harsh high-temperature environments. Applications for TEMP technology include Mesodyne’s LightCell™ power generator and other thermophotovoltaic energy converters, as well as turbine engines.
Mesodyne Inc. has been awarded an AFWERX Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract, in partnership with Argonne National Lab to refine their compact solid-state generator with 10 times the energy density of a lithium ion battery.
Mesodyne Inc. has been awarded an AFWERX Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract, in partnership with Texas A&M University to develop and field a JP-8 compatible LightCell™ for austere environments: a new class of compact solid-state generator with up to ten times the energy density of a lithium ion battery.
The Massachusetts Innovation Network announced the 25 finalists of the Annual New England Innovation Awards. Twenty six independent judges comprised of innovators, entrepreneurs, professionals and business leaders undertook the challenging task of assessing the innovation entries and selecting the finalists, out of a large pool of high quality applicants. The top-three scoring innovators in each category were chosen to move on to the New England Innovation Showcase, the final and live phase of the competition; they will exhibit their innovations, present a three-minute pitch, and answer questions about their break-throughs on Wednesday, October 21st, for the New England Innovation Award of their category.
