    Photon Queue

    Photon Queue nathan@photonqueue.com 60 Hazelwood Dr, Champaign, IL Photon Queue is a hardware company developing quantum memories and the first quantum startup from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The company aims to become the premier supplier of photonic quantum memories for the emerging quantum communication, networking, and computing sectors. Quantum memories comprise many of the required components for these sectors and will command a significant fraction of this market size, but the currently available quantum memory technologies lack many performance metrics. The quantum memory technology at Photon Queue has been pioneered by the research group of Prof. Paul Kwiat over the past two decades. It outperforms all competing technologies in head-to-head comparisons for several critical quantum applications. The company aims to accelerate the realization of important quantum applications by providing high-performance quantum memories. photonqueue.com Photon Queue at Research Park Photon Queue Meets with Venture Investors in Silicon Valley Photon Queue Pitches Bay Area Startups at San Francisco’s Deep Tech Week

    Shothawk

    ShotHawk was founded to develop an active shooter response system. The company is advancing its project through in-house prototyping and machine learning development. CEO Brandon Johnson’s experience during a devastating tornado inspired ShotHawk’s mission: “Reduce the impact left by disasters, starting with one that is man-made and plaguing society, active shootings.“ ShotHawk has developed a comprehensive security system designed to address the rising frequency of active shooter incidents, particularly at vulnerable targets. Its system not only alerts authorities but also takes proactive measures to engage the shooter, thereby providing critical additional time for safety officials to respond. Additionally, it offers real-time updates on the shooter’s location and can be deactivated by officials as they arrive. shothawkai.com

    Iridescent Sensors

    Iridescent Sensors ksuslick@iridescentsensors.com 60 Hazelwood Dr. Champaign, IL Iridescent Sensors has developed a handheld analyzer for colorimetric sensor arrays that have a wide range of demonstrated applications in a diverse set of markets. Colorimetric sensor arrays are a powerful and general method for the identification and classification of odors, complex chemical mixtures, and toxic gases. An array of chemically-responsive dyes, pigments and colorants is digitally imaged before and during exposure to the analytes of interest: the changes in the colors of each of the spots represents a unique molecular fingerprint of the odor. iridescentsensors.com

    Natrion

    Natrion akosyakov@natrion.co 630-849-7277 60 Hazelwood Dr. Champaign, IL Natrion is pushing the boundaries of materials science to develop new batteries and battery components that eliminate fire risk while diminishing material costs. Natrion’s new Lithium Solid Ionic Conductor (LISIC) combines a proprietary high-performance ceramic made from a clay mineral that is already used in cosmetics and paper with a type of plastic that’s typically found in building fire insulation. The result is a component that can be integrated into existing battery assembly lines in place of liquid electrolytes to eliminate battery fire risk. Natrion is developing its own sodium-ion battery architecture that will pair all of the safety benefits of LISIC with chemistry that replaces lithium with sodium. natrion.co Natrion at Research Park Natrion Meets with Venture Investors in Silicon Valley Natrion lands $1.5 million in Air Force contracts Natrion Commissions New Production Line, Sets Sights on UK and EU Demand Battery startup Natrion lands $1.5M in Air Force contracts Natrion Featured in Axios for Driving Electric Aviation Natrion Receives Illini Angels’ First Investment Natrion Co-Founder Recognized in Forbes’ 30 Under 30: Energy List Natrion Named Ultimate Winner at Urban Tech Challengers 2023 Natrion Pushes Ahead with Solid-State Li-Metal Battery Tech Scale-Up, Named Finalist in LG Energy Solution Battery Challenge 2022 Natrion Named A Finalist in the 2022 LG Energy Solution Battery Challenge Natrion Receives $2M Funding, Government Contracts Co-Founder of Natrion Recognized in Chicago Inno’s 25 Under 25 EnterpriseWorks Startup Natrion Secures $2 Million in Funding from Major Backers Intern Awards Best Entrepreneurial Leadership in a Startup 2022 – Shivam Tailor Best Startup Intern 2023 – Brisa McGrath
