New York, N.Y., July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear”), a vertically integrated advanced nuclear energy and technology company developing portable clean energy solutions, today announced that it has filed a series of provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to secure intellectual property rights for its recently acquired enabling annular linear induction pump (ALIP) technology. Figure 1 - The Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology SBIR Phase III Program previously DOE funded $1.37Million in grants to support technology is led by Renowned Physicist and Carlos O. Maidana, Ph.D. ALIP was developed by noted physicist, research engineer and project manager Carlos O. Maidana, Ph.D., who now serves as NANO Nuclear’s Principal Investigator for an SBIR Phase III program being funded by NANO Nuclear which is dedicated to advancing the development and potential commercialization of this innovative technology. Throughout prior SBR phases, the Department of Energy has cumulatively awarded over $1.37 million in grants to date to support this technology. In June 2024, NANO Nuclear announced that it acquired the ALIP technology from Dr. Maidana. “It is a pleasure to see my work find a home at NANO Nuclear,” said Dr. Carlos O. Maidana, CEO and Founder at Maidana Research. “The leadership team has time and again proven their desire to innovate within the nuclear energy space and create cleaner and more sustainable energy future. I am delighted to be a part of this effort and I’m confident that the ALIP technology will play a key role in the modernization and optimization of nuclear reactors around the world.” The provisional patent applications announced today seek to secure formal intellectual property protection for the ALIP technology, which addresses challenges in high-efficiency thermal fluid management for clean energy and high-temperature industrial processes, offering numerous advantages over traditional pumps. These benefits make ALIP an enabling technology for NANO Nuclear’s own ‘ODIN’ microreactor in development. Additionally, NANO Nuclear anticipates that...
