Our Advanced Materials
Xtalic’s advanced materials are strategically created using our patented computational material design platform based on groundbreaking scientific research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our nanostructured metal alloys are single-phase, super-saturated, solid-solutions — produced using our proprietary electrodeposition techniques — and maintain their supercharged properties with a stable nanostructure.
