Innovation at the frontier of science

Unearthly Materials

We’ve created the first superconducting material that operates at room temperature and near-ambient pressure. In this century, superconducting materials will enable immense technological advancements — much like semiconductors gave rise to the digital revolution in the 20th century.

Headquartered in Rochester, New York, Unearthly Materials was founded to produce those materials.
