Description
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is offering a licensing opportunity for their LiSA (Lithium Sensing with Advanced Polymer Systems) technology. This field-deployable, polymer-based sensing platform enables rapid, in-situ detection of lithium in geothermal brines and clay-rich formations. LiSA eliminates the need for costly full-depth drilling and time-intensive laboratory assays during early-stage exploration, allowing exploration teams to confirm lithium presence in real time, reduce exploration risk, and accelerate resource validation. The technology works by using a specially designed sensing material that selectively recognizes lithium in underground fluids or soil, producing a measurable signal. It is engineered to remain stable under high salinity, temperature, and varying chemical conditions typical of lithium-bearing environments. Key advantages include its field-deployability, portability, in-situ measurement capability, faster decision-making through near real-time results, lower exploration costs, and adaptability for sensing other critical minerals. Potential market applications include lithium mining and mineral exploration, geothermal energy development, direct lithium extraction and brine processing, oil and gas field services, and analytical instrumentation. The technology is at TRL 4 and is US patent pending. LANL's licensing program aims to move inventions from researchers to commercial innovations through exclusive and non-exclusive licensing agreements.
