TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Compact Modular Furnace

The Compact Modular Furnace is a technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory that provides a practical way to perform extreme-temperature testing of molten salts and metals in a glovebox-compatible, tightly controlled environment. The furnace design supports rapid setup for a range of materials studies and helps teams work with highly reactive substances without exposing them to air or moisture. The key advantages of this technology include its small footprint, flexibility, and ability to reduce the need for multiple separate instruments. The market applications for this technology include nuclear energy, fusion energy, solar energy, advanced materials research, laboratory instrumentation, and industrial R&D. * Small enough to fit in constrained lab setups, including gloveboxes * Helps protect sensitive materials from air and moisture * Allows researchers to observe samples while they are being heated * Flexible enough to support different kinds of experiments * Can reduce the need for multiple separate instruments * May lower setup cost compared with larger, specialized systems
