Magnetometers are nearly ubiquitous in today’s world, fueling applications as diverse as medical diagnostics and self-driving cars. The most sensitive magnetometers, however, can only operate at extreme temperatures and in a shielded environment that isolates the sensor from ambient magnetic fields. Sonera Magnetics is developing a magnetometer that can operate at room temperature and in portable form factors with sensitivity comparable to the best magnetic sensors available today, dramatically increasing potential applications.
FLX Micro, Inc. manufactures silicon carbide-based microsensors. The company develops its products through silicon carbide deposition and microfabrication technology platform. Its products are used in various applications, such as automotive, energy, environmental, and manufacturing. The company was formerly known as Fiberlead, Inc.
eNano Technologies is redefining what’s possible in the Internet of Things. The company has developed the world’s smallest smart tags, called nanoTags, which are 14 times smaller than Apple's AirTag, and powered by battery-free Bluetooth technology developed at UC Berkeley.

Calyx is a materials science company that harnesses biology to provide low cost and highly accurate sensors for real-time detection and analysis of air chemicals in a variety of industries, including safety, healthcare, transportation, and food. The company offers commercial customers phage-based sensing and analysis of multiple gasses.
Company co-founders Ray Chiu and Benson Fan developed the company’s founding technology as a capstone project while they were students in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Masters in Bioengineering program. With the encouragement of UC Berkeley...
In the early 1990s, UC Berkeley biophysics doctoral students Michael O'Neill and Terrence Wong, under the guidance of their professor Allan Bearden, developed a laser measurement innovation that led to the foundation of Calimetrics, Inc. in 1994 and to the subsequent development of MLTM (MultiLevel) Recording for optical data storage systems.
MLTM Recording: Unlike conventional binary recording, ML Recording allows data to be stored in marks (or pits) of multiple levels of reflectivity, thereby increasing data density on the surface of read-only,...
Accelerating robotics through low-cost hardware. Berkeley Open Arms manufactured the BLUE robot arm that was developed at UC Berkeley's Robot Learning Lab. BLUE is a low-cost, high-performance robot that is intrinsically safe, developed from the ground up with ever-increasing artificial intelligence capabilities in mind. BLUE was designed to use recent advances in AI and deep reinforcement learning to master intricate human tasks, while remaining affordable and safe.
