Energy, engineered from first principles

Blixt is an energy research and development company in Austin, Texas. We work where electromagnetics, materials, and power infrastructure meet — and where the theory has not caught up to the demand.

01 — What we do
01

Study how electrons respond to fields.

We model and measure how electron clouds in metals, semiconductors and insulators change under an applied voltage.

02

Formalize what we find.

Results we can repeat become models for building real devices.

03

Turn it into usable technology.

Starting with semiconductors, where small changes in electron behaviour matter most.

04

Test it on real hardware.

Every result is checked on the bench before it is claimed.

Blixt investigates quantum electrodynamics and turns what it finds into real-world technology.

02 — Standing waves
Live · circular plate n = 0 · k = 5.520 J n(kr) cos nθ

A bound electron is a standing wave.

The math that shapes sand on a vibrating plate is the same math that shapes an electron's orbital.

03 — Focus
01

QED Research

How electric fields and electrons interact, modelled and measured.

02

Semiconductors

Applying those effects to semiconductor materials and devices.

03

Electromagnetic Systems

Fields, coils and resonance, built and tested in house.

04

Simulation

Interactive models that show what the physics predicts.

Where wavefronts fold, energy concentrates.

Light bent by glass gathers into bright lines. Fields and electrons do the same.
