Zyvex is the first molecular nanotechnology company with a vision of developing adaptable, affordable, and molecularly precise manufacturing.
Founder Jim Von Ehr will show how the company has grown from a research-intensive, technology-push organization to a product-intensive, market-pull organization. Zyvex's products include a broad family of nanomanipulators, microassembled instruments such as miniature mass spectrometers, and advanced materials using carbon nanotubes. Zyvex markets its instrumentation products primarily to the semiconductor industry, and its materials primarily for mechanical reinforcement in the sporting equipment and aerospace & defense industries. The talk concludes by describing how Zyvex is bootstrapping itself towards its goal of Atomically Precise Manufacturing.
