TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Protein-Based Rare Earth Recovery via Condensation, developed by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, offers a bio-based method to capture and concentrate rare earth elements from complex liquid mixtures using engineered Lanmodulin (EP-LanM) proteins that self-assemble into recoverable condensates. The technology is at TRL 3 with a U.S. Patent pending (LA-UR-26-25158) and supports applications in critical minerals recovery, mining, e-waste recycling, environmental remediation, and biomanufacturing. This is a Special Notice, not a procurement or grant — LANL is seeking industry partners to license and commercialize the technology.
NanoFiber Engineered Therapeutics Platform (NanoFET) from Laboratory offers pharmaceutical and biodefense organizations a modular, adaptable scaffold for building next-generation immunotherapies. By merging self-assembling peptide nanofibers with interchangeable nanobody and peptide components, the platform enables rapid development of targeted treatments that bridge disease agents directly to the patient’s own immune cells.
SurfGraphPro, an AI tool, transforms complex protein structures into an easy-to-analyze format that helps researchers quickly identify binding sites, predict molecular interactions and understand protein behavior with greater speed and scalability than traditional approaches. By combining 3D surface graph representations with advanced machine learning, this technology from Los Alamos National Laboratory reduces the computational burden of protein analysis while preserving the structural detail needed for high-value applications in drug discovery, antibody design, pathogen detection and custom protein engineering.
