Read full description
The company's core technology is a proprietary AI platform that accelerates the discovery, synthesis, and testing of new materials, compressing development timelines from years to months. This platform includes a generative AI model, LINUS, which designs novel material structures based on desired properties, and Orb, an open-source AI model for simulating these materials at a quantum physics level with high speed and accuracy. This "design-before-experiment" approach allows Orbital Materials to create bespoke materials for specific industrial applications.
Orbital's primary market is data center sustainability, where it develops solutions for cooling, carbon capture, and water efficiency. Its products include the Orbital Dual Use Chiller, which provides heat ejection for liquid-cooled data centers and uses the waste heat to capture water or CO₂, and an ultra-efficient direct-to-chip liquid cooling solution for high-density deployments. The company has established strategic partnerships with Amazon Web Services (AWS), NVIDIA, and Civo to advance its technology and pilot its carbon removal solutions in live data center environments. Orbital Materials has secured significant funding, including a $4.8 million seed round in 2023 and a total of $21 million from investors such as Radical Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Toyota Ventures, and NVentures, NVIDIA's venture capital arm.
