Low-noise superconducting interconnects

This federal Project Grant award was provided by the Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to Applied Nanotech, Inc., doing business as Fepet, a woman-owned small business located in Austin, TX. The $206,500 grant, awarded on February 18, 2025, with a target completion date of November 17, 2025, supports the development of low-noise superconducting interconnects.

The Office of Science Financial Assistance Program is the Department of Energy's primary mechanism for funding fundamental scientific research across disciplines, including advanced computing, energy sciences, and nuclear physics. This grant to Fepet aligns with the program's focus on supporting cutting-edge scientific investigations with potential applications in energy, national security, and technological innovation. As a woman-owned small business, Fepet has previously secured substantial federal research funding through SBIR/STTR contracts and DOE project grants, demonstrating its technical expertise in areas such as flexible printed electronics, superconducting materials, and advanced manufacturing.
