META Provides First-of-a-Kind Prototypes to U.S. Military

NanoWeb® Defogging Integrated with Dive Masks and Gas Masks

 Metamaterial Inc. ("Company" or "META") (CSE: MMAT) a developer of high-performance functional materials and nanocomposites, today announced it has provided first-of-kind prototypes to the United States military for evaluation. The Company designed, produced, and tested fully submersible prototypes integrating NanoWeb® transparent conductive film for active defogging of the visors of dive masks and gas masks used by military personnel.

NanoWeb® is a sub-micron metal mesh produced by META's proprietary Rolling Mask Lithography® (RML). The grid wires are too small to be visible to the naked eye and are highly conductive, enabling rapid defogging while consuming little power.

"We believe this project is a world-first demonstration for this type of on-demand defogging. If META can satisfy the high performance requirements for military personnel, it should be natural to expand our product range into civilian uses such as protective equipment for first responders, motorcycle helmet visors, alpine sport goggles and scuba diving headgear," said Gardner Wade, Chief Product Officer.

NanoWeb® Improves Performance for a Wide Range of Applications

NanoWeb® is well-suited to a range of applications, including deicing and defogging of automotive windshields, headlights, taillights, turn signals, and sensors; touchscreens, EMI shielding, and transparent 5G antennas. NanoWeb® can be applied to glass or plastic substrates, utilizing various common conductive materials. It is much more sustainable, using less energy and producing less waste than transparent conductors made from rare earth metals such as ITO (indium tin oxide).

Overview

Almost every great advancement in technology can be attributed to a breakthrough in materials science. The Industrial Revolution was driven in large part by advancements in the metallurgy of iron and steel, enabling the harnessing of steam power and the construction of sophisticated machinery. The discovery of semiconducting materials and the means of chemically modifying their properties led to the invention of the transistor, and the enablement of the Digital Age in which we live.

We are now in the midst of another revolution in materials science involving the invisible world of nanotechnologies, nanostructures, and metamaterials, materials that can manipulate and utilize light and other forms of energy in new ways, many of them previously thought impossible.

Metamaterial Inc. (“META”) (CSE:MMAT) specializes in the design and nanofabrication of highly functional materials designed to improve the ways we interact with and benefit from light and other forms of energy. Using advanced proprietary and environmentally sustainable technologies, META harnesses the power of light by reflecting, absorbing, or enhancing it in exciting, often revolutionary, new ways. The scientists and engineers at META consider themselves to be at the forefront of this current revolution in materials science.

Silica Investing: How Processing Bottlenecks Create Breakthrough Opportunities

As one of its most abundant minerals, the world has no shortage of silica. The challenge — and more importantly, the value — lies in making it pure enough for the technologies that will define the global energy transition.

Innovations in cleaner and more efficient high-purity (HPQ) silica processing are emerging as one of the most powerful levers of value creation in the energy transition. While quartz is abundant in nature, producing HPQ silica has historically depended on energy-intensive, chemical-heavy methods — until recently.

Breakthroughs in cleaner, more efficient refining are reshaping how HPQ silica is produced, cutting costs, shrinking carbon footprints and creating a technology-driven industry from what was once viewed as a commodity.
