About this award
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command awarded $909,719 to R7 Instruments Inc. on September 15, 2025, under the Basic Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.431) to develop an acoustic Brayton cryogenic refrigerator for rapid cooling of quantum technologies.
R7 Instruments, a for-profit entity based in Somerville, Massachusetts, will perform the work at its Winter Hill, Massachusetts facility through September 14, 2027. The acoustic Brayton system represents the company's core capability in acoustic-based cryogenic refrigeration, building on its earlier development of acoustic expander technology for ultra-low-temperature applications. This award follows R7 Instruments' Phase I SBIR effort with the National Science Foundation on a related acoustic air-cycle refrigeration concept targeting food and biological preservation markets. The company concurrently holds a sub-award role on a Massachusetts Institute of Technology cryocooler grant and operates within a three-agency federal customer base across two prime grants and one sub-award.
