Structural Color
Nano-opals
Today, many colorants and dyes are made from harmful synthetic compounds which leach into our ground water and accumulate in plants and animals.
But with biomimetic nanostructures, we can replicate the vibrant colors found in nature–eliminating 99% of carbon emissions in the process.
Thermal Engineering
Nanocones
As global temperatures rise, the pressure on data centers to optimize energy efficiency intensifies. By 2030, they’re expected to consume 5% of the world’s electricity—mostly to meet cooling demands. Our patented nanotexturing technology improves heat-exchange efficiency by up to 5X, minimizing energy loss and significantly reducing cooling costs. By integrating these nanotech-enhanced surfaces, data centers can achieve lower operating costs, reduce carbon emissions, and maintain peak performance—without compromising performance.
Powerless Passive Cooling
Nanomesh
The electronics industry needs affordable alternatives to indium tin oxide (ITO) to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation.
Our low-cost, high throughput transparent conductors deliver the conductivity, optical clarity, and mechanical flexibility required for next generation display and electronics applications.
Optical Coatings
Nanopillars
From cutting edge NASA telescopes to high-power laser systems, optical coatings are essential for maximizing performance.
Nanostructured optical coatings enable angle-independent optical performance, support high-power operation, and significantly reduce manufacturing costs.
Lightweight, Efficient Solar
Nanocones
The natural world offers a powerful solution to the growing threat of drug-resistant bacteria.
By mimicking the unique nanostructures found on dragonfly wings and lotus petals, we’re developing the first medical implants that actively prevent harmful bacterial growth.
Anti-fouling
Nano-opals
Nanotechnology is transforming industries by preventing the buildup of unwanted materials on surfaces, boosting performance and efficiency across sectors from healthcare to manufacturing. Nanoscale’s biocidal coatings reduce the risk of bacterial infections in prosthetics, speeding recovery and improving longevity. The same technology combats marine biofouling, cutting drag and boosting fuel efficiency in aquatic freighting by up to 40%, setting new performance standards across industries.
Passively Cooling
Nano-opals
Some of the most efficient cooling systems don’t use energy at all. Nature regulates temperature with microscopic structures that reflect heat and manage moisture.
Hydrophobic Filtering
Nanomesh
Water rolls right off some surfaces while sinking into others. In nature, nanoscale textures create self-cleaning and water-repelling effects that improve efficiency and purity.
Vivid Coloration
Nanopillars
Butterfly wings and peacock feathers create color by bending light with nanoscale patterns. This structural color is vibrant, long-lasting, and pigment-free.
Heat Regulation
Nanocones
The temperature fluctuations of a desert climate are handled by microscopic cones that make up the skin of a Horned Lizard.
Water Collection
Nanopillars
Spider silk webs pull water from the air using grooved surfaces to catch moisture within the air. This allows survival in extremely dry climates.
Lightweight Strength
Nano-opals
Nacre and bone achieve their incredible strength with layered nanostructures. Their natural design allows for durability with ease of movement.
The future is built with better materials.
Creating affordable nanotechnology that solves today’s challenges without creating tomorrow’s problems.
Join us in building the materials revolution.
Nanostructures
Nature’s microscopic building blocks holding massive potential.
Can only go so far in comparison to the intricate precision shaped by evolution. Nearly every natural wonder on Earth begins at the microscopic level, where nanostructures define form and function.
Synthesizing these structures comes at a very high cost.
Nanomaterial production is primarily done with expensive equipment only obtainable by established research groups and large companies developing semiconductors.

What’s Next
We take on the environmental harm impacting fisheries.
Amount of carcinogens entering waterways yearly from lost or discarded fishing equipment.
Nanoscale Fishing
In 2026, we plan to launch a new brand in a category long overdue for environmental change.
We’re not just making fishing lures—we’re reimagining how they interact with the environment. By using biodegradable materials and sustainable designs, we’re doing our part to tackle the plastic pollution choking our waterways, ensuring that fisheries thrive, not just today, but for generations to come.
Reinforced Seaweed Bioplastic
Substantially stronger than any other product on the market.
Unlike standard lures, Nanoscale lures ensure we leave nature unharmed if lost or left behind.
High Vibrancy Nanocoating
The brightly-colored surface of our lures are free of VOC emissions, zero chemicals.
Unlike the all other tackle brands, Nanoscale products will be free of dyes or pigments—just natural biomimicry created by nanomaterials.
Why fishing lures?
One of our Co-Founders Gabriel, grew up in Houston, Texas and spent almost every summer with his family in Bolivia. It was in Bolivia that he hiked along the Andes, ran around jungles, but also saw the consequences of environmental pollution first hand like Lake Uru Uru, a once-thriving waterway turned to a wasteland.
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.
