What Qynergy does

Qynergy Inc. is a privately held technology development company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Operating with 1-10 employees from a 6,500 sq. ft. multi-lab facility, the company specializes in maturing early-stage energy, detection, and materials technologies into manufacturable solutions for government customers through what it terms the 'Qynergy Accelerator Model.'

The company's technology portfolio spans nine distinct areas: betavoltaic power sources using Krypton-85 and Promethium-147 isotopes for long-life remote power; boron solid-state neutron detectors and piezoelectric neutron generators for radiation detection; asymmetric ultracapacitors and rechargeable thermal batteries for energy storage; MgO materials for thermal battery applications; dissolved oxygen power sources and mechanical energy harvesters for alternative power generation; and concentrated photovoltaic microtrackers for solar applications. R&D is supplemented by access to partner facilities including Sandia National Laboratories' Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), the Advanced Materials Laboratory (AML), and the Manufacturing Training & Technology Center at the University of New Mexico.

Qynergy generates revenue through government R&D contracts for technology development and, more recently, through a planned joint venture with TIDAL NRG and Energy Tech (signed November 2025) for graphene-based advanced power infrastructure and manufacturing in Texas. The company is led by President & CEO Dr. Viswanath 'Wish' Krishnamoorthy, a materials science PhD with 40+ refereed publications. Pricing is quote-based on custom contracts, and no public pricing, revenue figures, or funding rounds have been disclosed.

Products and services

• Betavoltaic Power Sources (Kr-85 and Pm-147 based) Radioisotope-based betavoltaic power sources using Krypton-85 and Promethium-147 isotopes, designed for long-life power generation in remote sensors and other applications requiring multi-decade endurance. Intended for government customers and applications needing energy sources with lifetimes far exceeding conventional batteries.
• Boron Solid State Neutron Detector A solid-state neutron detector leveraging boron as the conversion material for the detection of thermal neutrons. Developed for government and security-related detection applications requiring compact, solid-state form factors rather than gas-tube or He-3-based detectors.
• Asymmetric Ultracapacitor An asymmetric ultracapacitor (supercapacitor) energy storage device combining two different electrode materials to deliver high-power density with energy-density improvements over symmetric designs. Intended for power electronics and pulse-power applications where conventional batteries underperform.
• Piezoelectric Neutron Generator A neutron generator whose operation is driven by piezoelectric actuation rather than conventional high-voltage circuitry. Designed to produce neutrons in a compact form factor suitable for field-deployable detection and interrogation applications.
• MgO for Thermal Batteries Magnesium oxide (MgO) material technology developed as the electrolyte/separator component in high-temperature thermal batteries. Used in defense and aerospace applications where single-shot, long-shelf-life power is required (e.g., missiles, munitions, decoys).
• Dissolved Oxygen Power Source A power source that scavenges dissolved oxygen (for example, from water) to generate electrical power, designed for long-deployment remote sensors and underwater or wet-environment applications.
• Mechanical Energy Harvester A mechanical energy harvester that converts ambient vibration or motion into electrical energy for powering low-power electronics and sensors. Targeted at remote, unattended sensor systems where battery replacement is impractical.
• Concentrated Photovoltaic Microtracker A concentrated photovoltaic microtracking solar module that combines micro-optical concentration with tracking to deliver higher-efficiency solar conversion in a compact form factor, intended for remote-power applications.
• Rechargeable Thermal Battery A rechargeable variant of thermal battery technology, retaining the long-shelf-life characteristics of thermal batteries while supporting multiple discharge-charge cycles for use cases where reactivation is required.
• Government R&D Technology Development Services Custom R&D and technology maturation services offered to government customers under contracts, in which Qynergy takes early-stage power, detection, or materials concepts through the Qynergy Accelerator Model and delivers prototypes, characterized data, and manufacturable designs. Includes access to Qynergy's 6,500 sq. ft. multi-lab facility and partner networks at AML, MTTC, and Sandia CINT.
