Foundations of Start-up

LAM_X (Light activated nanomaterials fighting infections) https://lam-x.tech

Mission of LAM_X

Development of new photoactive nanomaterials (polymer nanofiber membranes and nanoparticles) generating highly antimicrobial species (O₂(¹Δ_g)), NO radicals and/or I₂/I₃^–) for visible light-activated sterilization and other antibacterial and antiviral applications in medicine (surgical masks, wound covering etc.).
