WHY
Our world is full of energy. Use of energy is what makes us an intelligent civilization. And this is how we are searching for extraterrestrial intelligence – by monitoring electromagnetic radiation from the far space.
We are so used to wireless communication, but wireless power transmission is just one step ahead in the same direction. And this is what we are after – making power available wirelessly and safely.
In the near future, multiple wireless sensors will capture precise and timely information from all industrial production phases, they will keep track of stock transfer, help monitor critical parameters in Smart buildings and make Smart cities not only smart, but also power efficient.
These small devices will allow to fully integrate physical and digital worlds within our commonly break'n'mortar environments and to reap the benefits of exhaustive data collection, data analytics and processes optimization.
The Teratonix energy harvester will power up the Industry 4.0
100 MHz to 10 GHz

Our team
The Teratonix energy harvester embodies the result of many years of research in nanoscale semiconductors. The invention of the ultra high speed diode in Dr. Luo's lab in Carnegie Mellon University made possible creation of the first technology on the market to produce a meaningful amount of energy to replace batteries
