Nanolithography is slow and expensive.
The exceedingly high cost of nanotech production is wildly overpriced and inaccessible to most.
Between spin-coating, baking, and de-scumming materials, very little time is left for any reasonable trial and error. Without on-site equipment, every project relies on third-party timelines.
A full staff is required to maintain a minimum of Class 100 rating required for most commercial clean rooms. For independent nanofabrication institutions, this overhead is not realistic.
Nanoscale Patterning Through Aerosol Coating
With years of research, we have developed a faster and more accessible system and method to self-assembling nanoparticles at a fraction of time and cost.

Self-Assembly
Nanoparticles are assembled into patterns on thin liquid interfaces over their desired footprint.
Transfer
They are then adhered to any substrate—be it metal, silicon, glass, plastic, curved, or flat.
Fabrication
After cleaning and prepping, your nanotech enabled device is ready for production.
Removal
Remaining particles not needed are removed from the surface, leaving behind the desired material.
Spheres
The bread and butter of nanotech—all our technologies start with the self-assembly of an array of nanospheres. May be used as-is or as a template to create other nanostructures.

Affordable, lightweight, and highly efficienct.
Our nanostructures enable increased current generation and self-cleaning properties for utility scale, residential, EV integrated, and UAV solar power generation.
When integrated into rooftops or automobile paints, our nanostructures can passively lower internal temperatures by as much a 10°C—saving tons of money on electricity bills and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
By replacing synthetic dyes and colorants in commercial goods manufacturing with our structural color generating nanostructures, we can eliminate >10,000s tons of toxic pollution accumulating in our aquatic environments.
Nanoscale Fishing
In 2025, we plan to make waves in a market remained unchanged for too long.
Our lures will outshine leading brands, simply by using the same science that is found in nature, also known as biomimicry.
The brightly-colored surface of our lures is zero VOC emitting, without the use of chemicals, dyes, or pigments. In addition to being more environmentally conscious, Nanoscale Fishing products will be made without any use of aerosol paints like others use.
Substantially stronger than any other product on the market.
Unlike standard lures, Nanoscale lures ensure we leave nature unharmed if lost or left behind.
Our Founder, Gabriel, grew up in Bolivia near lake Uru Uru, a once-thriving waterway. After decades of pollution from industrial waste and trash from the city center, it now has more plastic than water—and no aquatic life.
Upon learning more than 10,000 tons of carcinogens enter our fisheries annually from lost soft plastic lures, he knew it was time to turn the tides.
Small, but mighty
Drop us a line. We’re always eager to talk.
