Month/Year:

Robot Nose has been awarded a phase I small business innovative research (SBIR) grant for the project “Additively Manufactured Z-Channel Detectors for Heavy Ion Accelerator Diagnostics.” 

The award was featured in this press release from the Department of Energy.

Robot Nose has received two SBIR awards from the US Department of Energy, totaling $1.2 million in nondilutive funding.

We are working extensively with Argonne National Laboratory on research and development of particle detectors for heavy-ion accelerators.


January 2021:

Robot Nose has acquired an ion mobility-mass spectrometer from Ionwerks, Inc of Houston, TX. 

We plan to develop this tool further to study special nuclear materials, and also to help NASA in the search for signs of extraterrestrial life.


Robot Nose has been awarded a phase II SBIR from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) for developing a new approach for rapid additive manufacturing of particle detector components. This funding award includes our close collaborators at Argonne National Laboratory.


Argonne National Laboratory and Robot Nose are jointly working on a newly awarded phase I STTR from the DOE Office of Science to create x-ray lenses using additive manufacturing.


Robot Nose and Argonne National Laboratory have been selected for another phase I SBIR project, titled Magnetic Field Tolerant Low Cost Large Area Detectors.

We continue to develop cutting edge additive manufacturing technology and are working to find a path to market for these multiple SBIR projects.


Robot Nose and Argonne National Laboratory have been awarded their first joint phase II STTR project, to create refractive x-ray optics using additive manufacturing. This project will let the combined team push additive technology to a new level of resolution, speed and materials properties. The funding totals $1.15M over two-years.
