Lyten Culture | Comparably
Lyten Claimed Company
Lyten will impact everything. Our core innovation has been manufacturing a new supermaterials platform called 3D Graphene, a new material unlike anything else on Earth. 3D Graphene offers unique resistive, capacitive, inductive, structural, and energy-absorbing properties that can be infinitely tuned to enable never-before-seen capabilities and enormous potential for innovative products such as higher energy density, and lighter, Lithium-Sulfur batteries, stronger, and lighter, composite materials, ultra-sensitive IoT sensors, and more. And because we create our Lyten supermaterial by converting greenhouse gases, currently methane, into carbon-based 3D Graphene and hydrogen gas, we also will enable massive decarbonization benefits. At Lyten, we believe that a more sustainable future requires truly innovative solutions and people who share our passion. Join us to help make a meaningful impact in every way. read more
