Xtalic – Engineering Nanostructured Alloys to Redefine Strength, Durability, and Performance for the Future of Technology

In a world that constantly demands higher performance, greater efficiency, and enhanced durability, materials science stands at the forefront of technological advancement. Whether it is the rapid electrification of industries, the miniaturization of consumer electronics, or the evolution of high-frequency devices, the ability to manipulate materials at the atomic level has become a necessity. Xtalic, a pioneer in advanced nanostructured metal alloys, is shaping this transformation with its patented computational materials design platform. By unlocking new possibilities in durability, corrosion resistance, and temperature stability, Xtalic is helping industry leaders push the boundaries of what is possible while ensuring sustainability, safety, and cost-efficiency.

Engineering Innovation through Computational Materials Design

At the core of Xtalic’s success is its proprietary approach to computational materials design—a revolutionary method that enhances widely available metals by tailoring their nanostructure at an atomic level. Unlike traditional materials that degrade over time and under temperature fluctuations, Xtalic’s patented technology ensures long-term stability while maintaining superior mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties.

Originally developed through groundbreaking research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Xtalic’s technology has evolved from identifying stable binary nanostructured metal alloys to exploring ternary and higher-order alloys. This expansion enables greater control over a material’s functional properties, allowing for customized solutions that meet the ever-growing demands of modern industries.

With a state-of-the-art nanomaterials laboratory located in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and global technical teams spanning Shanghai, South China, and Singapore, Xtalic serves as a trusted advisor to world-leading companies seeking breakthrough material solutions. More than forty-five mass production lines rely on Xtalic’s nanostructured alloys, demonstrating the company’s ability to bring cutting-edge science into real-world applications.

The Power of Advanced Nanostructured Metal Alloys

Xtalic’s ability to enhance metal performance begins with its proprietary electrodeposition techniques, allowing precise control over grain sizes at the atomic level. By engineering grain structure, Xtalic fine-tunes the electrical, mechanical, and magnetic properties of metal, resulting in superior strength, conductivity, and durability.

Unlike traditional methods that produce unstable nanostructured alloys prone to degradation, Xtalic’s alloys retain their enhanced properties over extended periods. Through its Dynamic Nanostructure Control® technology, the company ensures that its nanocrystalline materials remain thermodynamically stable, even in the harshest environments.

This unique approach has positioned Xtalic as the go-to partner for companies striving to achieve next-generation performance in consumer electronics, medical devices, and high-frequency inductors.

Meet the Pre-Eminent Leader

Tom Clay joined Xtalic as CEO in March 2008. Prior to joining Xtalic, he spent 10 years growing another successful MIT startup, Z Corporation, from early commercialization phase to market leadership in the 3D printing space. Tom served Z Corporation as president, CEO, and board member. He is a former airborne ranger and led reconnaissance teams while stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Mr. Clay holds a BA from Princeton University in Mathematics and an MBA with high distinction (Baker Scholar) from the Harvard Business School.
