NanoBlox particles were first synthesized, developed and commercially manufactured by the Federal Republic Production Center ("FR&PC") Altai in Biysk, Siberia, Russia in the early 1980's. FR&PC Altai formally assigned its US patents to Nanoblox in 2004. Nanoblox is proud to collaborate with the world-class scientists employed by FR&PC Altai. FR&PC Altai is a state owned company employing over 2,500 personnel and scientists and associated with the Research & Development Section of the Ministry of Defense for the Russian Federation. Many companies attempted to exploit this technology when the Soviet Union dispersed. However, Nanoblox remains the ONLY company with the Intellectual Property (US Patents) for the production and synthesis of this unique phase of matter.
