KVD
QED produces the world's brightest source of quantum light, addressing the two challenges facing quantum communications networks: range and cost.
KVD is an MIT spinout making it possible for any scanning electron microscope to see the light elements like lithium, sodium, and oxygen that determine how batteries, electrolyzers, and catalysts perform. The company's retrofit detector turns a standard SEM into a chemistry-aware imaging tool. KVD's KeVEELS retrofit adds elemental composition, oxidation state, and bonding analysis to any standard scanning electron microscope. The technique it brings, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), is especially powerful for the light elements that conventional methods cannot resolve, including the lithium, sodium, and oxygen central to battery, electrolyzer, fuel cell, and catalyst development.
