Nano salt crystal

Nano Salt Crystal

  • This data set demonstrates NF capability to capture a 600 nano meter salt crystal from evaporation. In a single image data is captured from hundreds of nanometers to tens of angstroms.

  • By leveraging our AI model for NaCl we are able to apply post capture super resolution machine learning solutions to visualize ions that make up the atomic composition of the salt crystal lattice.

Human Sweat

  • NanoFraction is collaborating with researchers to understand the nano composition of human sweat. Until now it has been impossible to study this important bio marker in a natural condition.

  • It has been discovered that human cells make crystals to store energy and protein. Some biomarkers crystallize outside the body. Understanding the dynamics of cell crystals is an ideal application of NanoFraction technology.

Thermal Metrology

  • The boundaries between light and sound intersect and cross-over when electromagnetic waves pass through materials. NanoFraction technology can measure the ultrasound waves arising from this interaction. This data can be used for thermal analysis of materials.

  • Underlying NanoFraction technology is an AI physics engine that is based on analytic operators that connect the quantum world to the classical world of mechanics. This allows NanoFraction to simulate and compare with actual experimental results.
