Co-founded in 1987 by physicist Paul Farrell, Brookhaven Technology Group is a Stony Brook research-and-development company that turns government-supported physical-science research into commercial technology. Since beginning its current R&D work in 1998, the company has completed eight Phase I and four Phase II SBIR projects for the Department of Defense and Department of Energy, with its recent work centered on high-temperature superconducting cables for research and industrial partners.
SuperPower IncSince its formation in 2000, SuperPower Inc. has developed and commercially manufactured second-generation high-temperature superconducting tape and REBCO wires in Glenville, New York. Its products carry current with essentially zero resistance under cryogenic conditions, supporting demanding work in high-field magnets, power systems, fusion research and other advanced applications. SuperPower became a wholly owned subsidiary of Furukawa Electric in 2012 and now combines its HTS expertise with Furukawa’s long history in superconducting materials.EAST GLENVILLE, NY
Hyper Tech Research, IncFounded in 2001, Columbus-based Hyper Tech Research manufactures long-length magnesium diboride and niobium-tin superconducting wire while developing coils, cryogenic systems and other technologies for energy, medical and transportation applications. Its 41,000-square-foot facility has annual capacity exceeding 10,000 kilometers of wire, and the company’s patented continuous tube forming and filling process helped move MgB₂ wire from research into commercial manufacturing. More recently, Hyper Tech has expanded into high-power-density induction motors and grid technologies aimed at supporting electrification and a lower-carbon energy system.COLUMBUS, OH
Brimrose Technology CorporationPrivately owned since its incorporation in 2007, Brimrose Technology Corporation grew out of the research and development department of Baltimore-based Brimrose Corporation of America. Led by founder Ronald Rosemeier and a senior scientific staff made up entirely of Ph.D.s, BTC develops federally supported research into working prototypes for government and commercial partners. Its instruments have been tested on the International Space Station and selected for planetary missions.SPARKS, MD
R. E. Beverly III and AssociatesSince its founding in 1978, R. E. Beverly III and Associates has operated as an independent applied-physics research and development company serving government, universities, and industry. Its scientists and engineers turn specialized research needs into custom pulsed-power systems and related instrumentation, with in-house machine, electronics, and gas-discharge laboratory facilities supporting the work.LEWIS CENTER, OH
