NTS Innovations is a nanotechnology company developing Nanoscale Energy Harvesting chips. Its proprietary technology aims to enable electronics to power themselves by capturing ambient energy, reducing the need for traditional batteries.
NTS Innovations is a nanotechnology and semiconductor chip startup dedicated to commercializing Nanoscale Energy Harvesting technology. By leveraging exclusive global licenses from the University of Arkansas, the company utilizes advanced material science and silicon fabrication techniques to develop chips capable of harvesting ambient energy from the environment. These circuits, which capture energy from thermal fluctuations, vibrations, and other nanoscale noise, are designed for integration directly onto printed circuit boards. The company is currently in the research and development phase, focusing on creating prototypes that allow electronic devices to generate power autonomously, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for traditional batteries.
This technology is intended to address power constraints in various electronics, with initial applications targeting self-powered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wireless sensor networks. By providing a continuous, sustainable power supply, NTS aims to enhance the mobility and functionality of modern electronics. The company, headquartered in East Peoria, Illinois, operates through research partnerships and has engaged in crowdfunding campaigns to support its ongoing development and commercialization efforts. It maintains a collaborative ecosystem with partners in design services and semiconductor manufacturing, working toward the eventual mass production of its energy-harvesting chips.
