Descripción del proyecto
Acortar distancias en el análisis accesible
El avance de la tecnología depende de la comprensión de las estructuras moleculares, pero las herramientas actuales se quedan cortas. El análisis de rayos X de alta resolución, crucial para el progreso de la ciencia de los materiales, tiene un rendimiento o un acceso limitados. Este obstáculo ahoga la innovación, impidiendo que las industrias aprovechen la investigación de vanguardia. En este contexto, el Consejo Europeo de Innovación apoya a LynXes para revolucionar el análisis de materiales. Al compactar la tecnología de rayos X de alta energía en una solución portátil, LynXes pretende democratizar el acceso y desencadenar una ola de innovación en todos los sectores. Prevé un futuro donde la investigación y el desarrollo industrial y académico aprovechen esta tecnología para desarrollar soluciones sostenibles en sectores como la energía verde, los productos farmacéuticos y la gestión de residuos. Al hacer más accesible la espectroscopia de rayos X de alta resolución, LynXes pretende catalizar avances transformadores, garantizando un futuro más brillante y sostenible.
Objetivo
Our society is driven by constant technological progress, which crucially depends on advances in material science. The bottleneck of such advances is to see deeper into and understand better the molecular structures, which is limited by tools that are either i) accessible to many, but limited (and already fully exploited) in performance, or ii) are of high performance but restricted to only a few with large-scale infrastructures, and greatly limited by availability and cost.
One of the most effective and prolific of materials analysis tools is high-energy-resolved X-rays capable of revealing high-definition molecular structure of new materials in working conditions. This is however only available at large, €1BN X-ray sources, with little and difficult-to-obtain machine time for R&D performers. This discourages most potential users and makes life hell for the few who try. Consequently most of the industrial R&D sector, which could benefit most from these tools, is not even aware of these opportunities.
LynXes proposes to pack this technology into a self-sufficient tabletop solution, offering to disrupt the entire materials analysis sector and open up a whole new market worth around half a billion to a billion euros a year. We are convinced that this novel family of materials analysis methods could be a game changer in the research and development in many fields. The possible use cases range from developing novel materials for batteries or fuel cell systems, understanding and improving nuclear waste management, boost the performance of waste water treatment, etc.
Our mission is to open new horizons for industrial and academic R&D by democratizing the access to high-energy-resolution X-ray spectroscopies (HERXS) technology. We believe that our technology will create a better world by boosting several key R&D and QA processes, especially in highly future-oriented sectors such as green chemistry, green energy, pharma, waste management, data storage, and so on. LynXes is poised to disrupt the market and bring advanced X-ray spectroscopy capabilities to a broader range of users, transforming R&D processes and contributing to the development of more sustainable technologies across the board.
