First Niobium Nanomaterials Factory in the World Licensed to Operate Using the Product for Non-Metallic Purposes is in Minas Gerais

The startup Nanonib – Nanotechnology and Innovation in Niobium received from the government of the State of Minas Gerais the Technical-Operational Conditions (CTO) certificate and the sanitary permit, thus Brazil now has the first niobium nanomaterials factory in the world licensed to operate using the product for non-metallic purposes. The license allows the company to produce various beauty, health, and agribusiness items.

Niobium Spray That Protects Surfaces from the New Coronavirus Will Cost Around R$ 35.00

According to the company, the spray that protects surfaces from the new coronavirus is expected to be sold for a price between R$ 35 and R$ 40, and projections are that sales will total R$ 35 million in the first year.

“We discovered a way to manipulate niobium and turn it into advanced materials for various fields,” says Nanonib’s CEO, Joel Passos. He remembers that the company is composed of professors from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), who have been researching the product for about 15 years, as well as groups of investors.

The company plans to launch about seven to eight products made from niobium nanomaterials in 2021, “completely disruptive and innovative,” affirms Passos.

Among the company’s creations is a cream that uses niobium nanoparticles for the treatment of psoriasis – it is a cosmetic, not a medicine – and a whitening toothpaste.

Nanonib Wants to Supply Niobium Products for Agribusiness and Enter the International Market

Nanonib, according to Passos, is also finalizing an agreement with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), involved with a product for protecting plants against fungi and bacteria in agribusiness.

“We are transforming knowledge accumulated at UFMG for over 15 years. We want to demystify niobium. It is considerably abundant in the earth, but the mines in Minas Gerais are the easiest in the world,” he says.

Wanting to expand its business, the company is looking at the international market and has made various contacts with other locations. There have even been discussions with countries such as Japan, Italy, and the United States.

Nanonib – Nanotechnology and Innovation in Niobium was established in 2019 and has a nanofactory in the Technological Park of Belo Horizonte (BHTec).

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

In just three hours, a natural stone floor transforms the entrance of the house with an organic effect, immediate drainage, and a sophisticated non-slip finish that doesn’t puddle water, dries quickly, and impresses with the final result.

Future profession with immediate earnings: Specialist reveals how a solar energy technician earns R$ 8,000 per month by taking advantage of the explosion in demand across the entire country.

The Perseverance rover’s radar reveals a river buried 35 meters beneath Mars, pushing the presence of liquid water back to 4.2 billion years and increasing the chances of signs of life on the planet.

Explorers find Roman treasure trapped between rocks on the seabed for nearly 1,600 years and reveal a desperate attempt to hide 53 gold coins during the invasions of the Empire.

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

Espírito Santo will receive the largest engineering project in its history with the duplication of BR 262, which will have 50 viaducts, 28 bridges, and 2-kilometer tunnels cutting through the most challenging mountainous region of the entire state.

A project of nearly 9 million reais already has the first kilometer paved in Santa Catarina and promises to completely transform the access between Jaraguá do Sul and Rio dos Cedros in an area where tourism is growing at a rapid pace.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.
