We're thrilled to announce that, following our victory at the 2024 SXSW Innovation Awards in the What the Future (WTF) category, the USDA has awarded us an SBIR grant to advance our UbiGro greenhouse technology into a new domain: glass. This venture aims to unlock the high-value potential of glass #greenhouses with our quantum dot technology. UbiGro, our agricultural-focused technology, utilizes our proprietary #quantumdots to optimize sunlight. It transforms UV and blue light into more photosynthetically efficient red light, giving plants a tailored light spectrum that boosts yield, quality, and growth. "Our SXSW-winning UbiGro Cover product is a great offering for 90% of the market, and now we are thrilled to receive new funding from the USDA to develop QD-glass for the rest," said Dr. Matthew Bergren, Chief Product Officer at UbiQD.

About us
UbiQD, Inc. is an advanced materials company powering product innovations in agriculture, clean energy, and security. Founded in 2014 by Dr. Hunter McDaniel to commercialize breakthroughs in quantum dot nanotechnology, UbiQD makes use of technology licensed from LANL, MIT, WWU, and UW and is based in Los Alamos, NM. What differentiates UbiQD from its competitors in the quantum dot industry (total 2015 industry sales of ~$300 million with 90% annual growth) is its focus on a specific class of low-hazard semiconductor QDs composed of CuInSeS and ZnSeS, which are synthesized by an extremely low-cost manufacturing process. Typically, quantum dots are composed of either cadmium selenide or indium phosphide, both of which are highly toxic and extremely expensive, which limits their application to displays. UbiQD’s goal is to enter new markets enabled by the dramatically lower costs and negligible toxicity of their materials. In a recent ranking by New Materials News, UbiQD was selected as the #7 QD company with the judges stating: “Despite its age, UbiQD has quickly established itself as one of the most interesting and innovative companies in the sector. The low price point of its low-toxicity QDs means that it is able to enter industries that have so far been off-limits.” The dry Los Alamos climate provides the perfect conditions for reproducible nanomaterial production while the close proximity to Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratory allows for beneficial collaborations with leading scientists in the area.

We recently had the honor of hosting U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich at our #advancedmaterials manufacturing facility in #LosAlamos. We toured our expanded 16,000 sqft facility and shared our recent work in quantum dot manufacturing and innovation. Rooted in New Mexico's unique strengths, notably in its world-class national labs, UbiQD draws from a deep knowledge base of science and innovation. Spun out of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and MIT, our quantum dot technologies are progressing into practical applications, ranging from spectrum-controlled greenhouse films, like UbiGro, to transparent solar windows that could redefine #energy efficiency in urban environments. By driving this tech transfer from labs to scalable manufacturing, we're helping cultivate a diverse, resilient local economy and creating high-quality, future-focused careers for New Mexicans in #cleantech.
