BOSTON (PRWEB)
January 19, 2021

AFWERX, the catalyst for fostering innovation within the U.S. Air Force, announced Nanoramic Laboratories as one of the 179 participating teams selected from across the globe competing to Reimagining Energy for the DoD.

The AFWERX Challenge is centered around six topics – Fixed and Mobile Energy Generation, Energy Transmission and Distribution, Fixed and Mobile Energy Storage, New Warfighting and Operational Equipment, Data Availability for Improved Planning and Decision Making, and Energy Culture, Policy, and Education. The proposals selected to advance represent innovative solutions to allow for more effective warfighting and humanitarian missions less reliant on fossil fuels.

Located in Boston, MA, Nanoramic Laboratories is competing in the Fixed and Mobile Energy Storage Challenge alongside a diverse group of teams – originating from the vast regions of North America, Europe, Australia and other allied countries – that represent entrepreneurial startups, small businesses, large enterprises, academic institutions and research labs all vying to Reimagine Energy for the Department of Defense.

“The AFWERX Reimagining Energy for the DoD Challenge is critical to our mission of increasing collaboration between large businesses and entrepreneurs to accelerate solutions for the Air Force,” stated Mark Rowland of AFWERX. “On behalf of AFWERX and the Department of Defense, we congratulate the teams advancing to the next phase. Their contributions are invaluable and have the potential to create game-changing results across the Air Force enterprise.”

The Fixed and Mobile Energy Storage Challenge strives to develop leap-ahead operational and warfighting equipment, envision new ways of getting energy to where it is needed, and develop better storage devices. The Department of Defense (DoD) consumes large amounts of operational and facility energy to provide a combat-credible force. The DoD is one of the largest single consumers of energy globally, and the Air Force is the largest user of fuel energy in the US Government. The way we generate, transmit, store, and use this enormous amount of energy today is both a paramount combat enabler and a potentially crippling vulnerability.

The solution that AFWERX selected for the Fixed and Mobile Energy Storage Challenge is Nanoramic’s high power and wide temperature range FastCap lithium-ion capacitor. Nanoramic’s FastCap Lithium-ion capacitor is an energy storage device with high energy density and wide temperature range, operating in temperatures as low as -55 ⁰C. A lithium-ion capacitor combines the best features of EDLCs and Li-ion batteries. The result is a device with better energy density than an EDLC, but without the self-discharge characteristic, and higher durability (more charge-discharge cycles) than a Li-ion battery, without the potential for dangerous thermal runaway.

“The Nanoramic team is excited to have the opportunity to present our technology and show how it can help the U.S. Air Force solve its energy storage challenges”, said Mitch Koffel, VP of Business Development at Nanoramic Laboratories. “It is an honor to present our technology alongside all of the innovative companies selected for the AFWERX Energy Showcase”.

evolutionQ published a research report on Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) that is freely available for download on the evolutionQ website (https://evolutionq.com/qrng-report-2021). The vendor-neutral research report covers market use cases and technical descriptions of the various types of QRNGs available in the market.

QRNGs are a new class of random-number generators (RNGs), part of the larger class of quantum technologies that include quantum computers themselves. QNRGs exploit quantum physical processes to produce high-quality, testable, genuine randomness.

The report, written by evolutionQ, explores the features of QRNGs as compared to traditional RNGs and is intended as a guide for those making design, architecture, and policy decisions for today’s cybersecurity systems. The report is based on input from several experts in the fields of RNGs and QRNGs, both from industry and academia, who were asked to express an opinion about aspects of QRNGs that set them apart from classical RNGs.

“QRNGs bring additional choices to the array of random number generators already available for real-world deployment,” said Dr. Michele Mosca, CEO of evolutionQ. “In this report we took a balanced approach by interviewing various QRNG vendors as well as end-users of Random Number Generators to explore areas where QRNGs are advantaged and disadvantaged in today’s market.”

“Random numbers, numbers that do not follow any pattern and cannot be guessed, are critical for many real-world applications,” said Duncan Jones, Head of Quantum Cybersecurity, Cambridge Quantum Computing (http://www.cambridgequantum.com), one of the QRNG vendors interviewed for the report. “QRNGs are an important emerging technology because they offer verifiable and true randomness. This is especially important in today’s cloud computing environment, where applications that rely on random numbers for security reasons or fairness reasons can too easily and inadvertently be supplied with low-quality randomness sources when they move to the cloud.”

evolutionQ’s report on Quantum Random Number Generators is freely available for download on the evolutionQ website.
