Path to Scaling Solid Oxide Coatings
Abstract/Executive summary One of the tasks of PilotSOEL project is to evaluate the mass scalability of the solid oxide electrolyzers. One of the key components for the stack is the Interconnector Plate (IC). The IC plate usually made from high grade stainless steel has to survive and perform with minimal degradation in very harsh environment [1–4]. Because of the high stack operations temperatures and exposure to hydrogen, oxygen, water steam in high operational temperatures

How can a process occurring in the Sun be replicated on Earth?
University of Latvia (LU) researchers are working on future nuclear fusion technologies. Author: Matīss Sondars (Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Physics, Faculty of Exact Sciences and Technology, University of Latvia) Nuclear fusion is a process in which a large amount of energy is released through the merging of light atomic nuclei. This process also takes place inside the Sun. Although nuclear fusion is not yet used for commercial energy production, scientists world

Energy First
Energy comes first. It always has. We were glad to see this idea recognized when Naco won the Energy Category at Hello Tomorrow. (linkedin). It’s an important signal — materials and coatings are not a side topic. They are one of the small things that decide whether future energy systems become cheap, durable, and scalable. At Naco Technologies, we believe that energy is the currency of the future. Right now, everyone is talking about intelligence. AI models, tokens, compute —

The Rule of Three
Stability begins at three. You find this in the three quarks that must bind together to form every proton and neutron in the universe, and in the red, green, and blue pixels that compose the digital images before you. It is the same logic that balances a government through its three branches or a Negroni through its three ingredients. A system with two parts is merely a connection, but a system with three is a structure. We built our Naco ICR coating on this principle of stru

We are GLAD to see you!
Magnetron sputtering is known for its versatility, offering high quality thin film coatings for applications ranging from hard coatings to very clear optical coatings. For most of the thin film applications where magnetron sputtering is used, the thin film density is crucial factor. Either the aim is to get good refractive indexes or better protective properties, densely packed atoms in the layers are necessary. For protective coatings it is important to have layers without c
