Nanocage materials platform
We trap noble gases
one atom at a time.
XenCage designs porous nanocage materials that selectively capture xenon, krypton and radon from complex gas streams — enabling cleaner nuclear fuel cycles, smarter medical imaging, and safer indoor air.
An early-stage startup transitioning foundational nanocage research into applied products for industry.

Founder & CEO
Laiba's PhD research — conducted in partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory — introduced a new class of nanocage materials capable of selectively trapping xenon and krypton at ambient conditions. XenCage carries that work out of the lab and into industry.
“The noble gases were the last column of the periodic table we learned to talk to. We're teaching matter how to listen.”
