Who we are
We’re building the operating system for materials analysis.
Right now, researchres spend far too much time battling outdated tools just to analyze their minerals data. That slows down progress in fields like renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, advanced materials and mining.
We’re fixing it!
In just 18 months, Momentum Transfer has gone from spinout to seed-funded startup to the go-to platform for synchrotron-quality powder X-ray diffraction as a service. More than 2,500 researchers already rely on us to push their work forward. Now we're bringing that capability to mining – where understanding mineralogy isn't academic, it's the difference between a profitable operation and a write-off.
