VSPARTICLE

Exciting news🎉we have raised a new €6.5 million funding round led by NordicNinja VC and including our existing investor Plural Platform. This new funding is critical to support our mission to accelerate the development of advanced materials from years to weeks. And there is no greater impact that the discovery of new materials will have than in the race to net zero.🌱 Global governments, from the European Commission to Japan, are betting on green hydrogen as a key solution for the energy transition and global decarbonization. VSPARTICLE's technology contributes to this initiative: our VSP-P1 Nanoprinters are being used by R&D teams at leading universities and institutions worldwide to create and mass-produce components essential to the production of green hydrogen.  This is just the beginning of our impactful journey. 🚀 💐We’re pleased to welcome Rainer Sternfeld to the VSPARTICLE team as part of this new investment - his insights and perspective will be invaluable as we scale up to expand into the Japanese market. And we have the continued support of Sten Tamkivi who believes in our aim to create the future of advanced materials discovery from Europe.  If you’re interested in using our technology to supercharge material discovery or want to learn more, please get in touch.  Press release: https://lnkd.in/ej9mEfjK The Next Web (TNW): https://lnkd.in/eigJcWnj #materialdiscovery #netzero #funding #vsparticle

As #hydrogentechnologies, particularly electrolyzers and fuel cells, strive to achieve technological maturity and cost-effectiveness, accelerating innovation and scaling production is paramount. Overcoming these challenges requires significant investment in advanced research to develop cutting-edge materials and technologies that enhance performance and durability, scale up production to realize economies of scale, and foster collaboration between industry, academia, and government entities to drive innovation. In this context, #VSParticle is uniquely positioned to make a substantial impact. Our mission focuses on enabling the development of advanced nanomaterials that can enhance the performance and efficiency of electrolyzers. By refining critical catalysts, VSParticle not only helps to lower production cost but also increases energy output, making hydrogen technologies more viable and sustainable. This is crucial for creating next-generation solutions that have the potential to revolutionize industries ranging from energy storage to catalysis. It aligns perfectly with the broader goals of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiative. 👉Click here to learn about VSParticle's goal to supply tools for research market and mass production: https://lnkd.in/dtbspAEn

They offer real-time data that is vital across various industries, from environmental monitoring to industrial safety. They are robust, cost-effective, and can be miniaturized for improved #sensitivityandselectivity. While metal oxide gas sensors can detect a wide range of gases, one ongoing challenge is their limited ability to accurately distinguish between individual molecular species. #Nanoporousmaterials, with their tunable structural, thermal, optical, and electronic properties, are ideal for next-generation gas sensors. VSParticle's technology accelerates the fabrication of these materials, allowing researchers to screen a wide range of nanoporous materials in significantly less time. This approach effectively addresses key challenges in sensor performance, fabrication, and implementation.
