Nano EnerTex is a spin out company from the University of Houston's Center for Advanced Materials, developing advanced thin film materials and devices for application to energy and electronics, and to biotechnology. The firm is working to achieve major reductions in fuel cell size, weight, and operating temperature, while significantly increasing power density. This would have many applications including power supplies for NASA, power for portable electronic equipment, (e.g., laptop computer) and for high efficiency distributed energy sources for home electrical needs.
