About the company
Cerium Laboratories LLC, doing business as Digital Hadrons, operates as a small business prime contractor delivering specialized materials engineering, radiation hardening research, and machine learning development to defense and energy agencies on SBIR/STTR contracts and federal research grants. The company, based in Austin, Texas, competes exclusively in set-aside categories—SBIR Phase I and II, STTR Phase II, and Total Small Business designations—and holds no federal prime contract vehicles or IDVs.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, which accounts for six awards carrying $1.8 million in combined potential value out of $2.1 million across the full footprint (91% of awards by count). The Department of Energy Office of Science has awarded two grants totaling $412,900, the Army's PEO Ammunition one SBIR Phase I contract for $256,800, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology one purchase order for $102,737. Activity has been episodic—one to four awards per year—with the most recent award dated May 18, 2026. Only one award (the NIST purchase order) completes within the next twenty-four months.
Cerium's capability portfolio centers on radiation hardening for military electronics, materials characterization and protective coatings for nuclear fuels, and advanced sensing technologies. Representative work includes a $746,272 STTR Phase II contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory to implement boron-10 radiation hardening specifications for memory chips in aircraft electronic systems (awarded March 2022), a $206,500 DOE Office of Science grant to develop a data-agnostic machine learning framework for high-energy physics applications (awarded February 2024), a $206,400 DOE Office of Science grant for silicon nitride protective coatings on accident-tolerant nuclear fuels (awarded June 2022), and a $256,800 Army SBIR Phase I for research and development services (awarded March 2022). The source indicates prior SBIR/STTR awards and Other Transaction Agreements from the Air Force Research Laboratory for neutron detection technologies and nuclear materials research, and additional DOE grants for machine learning and fuel-protection work. Cerium operates entirely as a prime recipient and contractor with no identified subcontractor footprint.
