In plain English
Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering a license for GetterGauge, a hydrogen-capturing material that changes color to show how much capacity remains. The technology is designed for sealed systems in fields including aerospace, medical devices, nuclear, and microelectronics, and is at technology readiness level 4. This is a licensing opportunity, not a request for development services.
About this bid
A Capacity Indicator for Hydrogen Getters Imagine a hydrogen getter that tells you how much protective life it has left, simply by changing color, so engineers can read remaining capacity at a glance without ever opening the sealed device it guards. GetterGauge pairs that built-in gauge with a level of selectivity most getters cannot match, pulling hydrogen out of a sealed space while ignoring the helium, nitrogen, argon and methane around it and continuing to work. even at pressures a thousand times below atmospheric. Underpinning the color-change readout is a material that holds up to roughly three times more hydrogen than fielded products, works from below freezing to well above the…
