OUR WHY

We believe that earth is special, as it is home to the only life known anywhere in the universe. This is worth protecting at all costs!

To save earth's life from existential threats with light. Currently we are focused on wildfires because a single solution would save 20% of all CO2 emissions and over $1T annually in direct and indirect disaster costs. 

The mission is critical. The stakes are high. The time is short.

Failure is not an option. 

To Power, Protect, &, Propel using intense beams of directed and structured Light Energy

We bend, twist, & structure light using nanoparticles. This gives light amazing abilities such as bending like water from a fire hose and inducing a kind of lightning and thunder in the air. 

Our technique is called Photopyrokinesis, which means the manipulation and control of fire with light.  

Extinguishing wildfires at the speed of light—remotely, without water, and under extreme conditions like hurricane-force winds. This breakthrough has applications far beyond firefighting.

Early stage demonstrations of extinguishing tiny fires with light have been demonstrated. The next challenge is scaling this breakthrough to larger wildfires. This requires significant funding.

This is a high-risk & high-reward innovation targeting a nearly $1 trillion annual US wildfire problem. It could save more than the US defense budget while cutting 20% of global CO₂ emissions—offering transformative economic and environmental benefits. However, the physics and engineering challenges remain substantial.
