Battery research, built for industry.

We are a UK battery-technology company bringing acoustic-emission sensing and AI to cell developers, manufacturers and operators.

Where the work came from.

We were founded in London and build on more than a decade of battery-acoustics research led by Arthur at UCL, supported by the Faraday Institution, the UK's flagship battery research programme. That research into what acoustic emission can reveal about formation, ageing and failure produced the sensing approach, the analysis pipeline and the first datasets. We incorporated in 2025 to take the work to industry.

What we're here to do.

Battery teams make decisions every day on less information than they would like. We want acoustic-emission monitoring to be a normal part of how cells are formed, tested and operated: a signal teams trust, understand and act on.

  • Measurement first

    We lead with the evidence and let the data make the case.

  • Built with customers

    Every capability is developed around a real battery question, with the teams who ask it.

  • Deeply technical

    Battery science, acoustic engineering and AI, brought together to turn a difficult signal into something useful.

Bring us the cells, the process or the system you're working on. We'll tell you whether listening can help, and what a first project would look like.
