Gammanics

Market position

The company positions its technology against conventional batteries that degrade in three to five years, claiming lifespans up to 200x longer, no recharging requirement, and operation in extreme environments where conventional cells fail, while framing nuclear waste recycling as a combined energy and environmental proposition.

Differentiation claims centre on permanent, never-recharged power sources rather than consumable batteries: up to 1,000 years of operation depending on isotope, zero recharge cycles, tolerance of extreme temperature, underwater, space and radiation environments, and the use of radioactive waste as feedstock. The company also states its multi-layer encapsulation provides several barriers of radiation shielding and that its batteries meet international safety standards.

Technology

The core approach converts energy from radioactive decay into electricity using silicon carbide (SiC) and proprietary liquid semiconductor transducers, enhanced with HyPCD and multi-layer encapsulation for radiation containment and mechanical protection. A defence-in-depth safety architecture combines multiple protective layers addressing thermal, mechanical and radiation risk, plus an ion implantation lock-in mechanism that the company says prevents access to radioactive material. Claimed performance characteristics include continuous generation without external charging for up to 1,000 years depending on the isotope, operation from -40°C to 700°C, and functioning underwater, in space and under radiation exposure. Alongside the battery cell, the portfolio includes a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (Chantico) and a compact small modular reactor with passive safety systems (Volta).

Go-to-market

Stated application markets include aerospace and defence (satellites, deep space probes, remote military systems), medical implants such as pacemakers and neurostimulators, critical infrastructure including data centres, telecommunications towers and emergency backup systems, electric mobility including electric vehicles and autonomous drones, IoT and remote sensing in pipelines, bridges, environmental monitoring and smart city infrastructure, and aviation emergency power and avionics including flight recorders.

Geography

The associated UK entity GAMMANICS LTD is registered in London, at 85 Great Portland Street, W1W 7LT. Research collaboration is stated with the University of Cambridge and Airbus.

History

GAMMANICS LTD was incorporated in London on 14 June 2022 with registered number 14171959 and Dr Nima Golsharifi (born May 1987, British) as director and person with significant control holding 75-100% of shares and voting rights; the company registry classifies it under other research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering, records no accounts filed, and lists its status as dissolved. Gammanics Ltd. participated in the Paris Sustainability Techstars Accelerator cohort announced in December 2022. Registry aggregation links the same director to NDB Europe Ltd. (registered 12 April 2019), ORB Global Ltd. (2012), ORB Ventures Ltd. (2020) and Panaomics Ltd. (2017).

Risks & controversies

The UK entity GAMMANICS LTD is recorded in company filings data as dissolved and no longer trading, with no accounts filed since incorporation in 2022. Performance figures such as up-to-1,000-year operational life, 90-year electric vehicle battery life and 2030 commercial launch are company statements rather than independently verified results.
