TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Protein-Based Rare Earth Recovery via Condensation
TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Protein-Based Rare Earth Recovery via Condensation, developed by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, offers a bio-based method to capture and concentrate rare earth elements from complex liquid mixtures using engineered Lanmodulin (EP-LanM) proteins that self-assemble into recoverable condensates. The technology is at TRL 3 with a U.S. Patent pending (LA-UR-26-25158) and supports applications in critical minerals recovery, mining, e-waste recycling, environmental remediation, and biomanufacturing. This is a Special Notice, not a procurement or grant — LANL is seeking industry partners to license and commercialize the technology.

Technology Licensing Opportunity: Electrochemical Recycling Technology for Sustainable Recovery of Tellerium and Cadmium from CdTE Photovoltaics
This notice concerns a process for electrochemically extracting tellurium and cadmium from end-of-life and manufacturing-scrap CdTe photovoltaic cells. It generates oxidants in situ from oxygen or air instead of relying on externally supplied hydrogen peroxide, reducing dependence on bulk chemicals and the associated environmental footprint. The recovered metals are suitable for reuse in photovoltaic manufacturing, with CdTe photovoltaic recycling identified as a market application.
