About AMPeers

Superconductors are materials that allow electricity to flow with zero resistance. They enable extremely high power density, strong magnetic fields, compact power delivery, better power quality, and high energy efficiency. High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) achieve zero resistance at temperatures above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, an abundant and low-cost coolant. HTS wires can carry 300 to 600 times more current than copper wires of the same size.

AMPeers believes that delivering higher performance at radically lower cost is the key to unlocking the next generation of electrified applications.

AMPeers' Origin

University of Houston gave rise to AMPeers, a deep-tech spinout founded to scale breakthroughs in high-temperature superconducting wire. Our technology builds on decades of leadership in the HTS ecosystem, combining academic invention with industry-proven manufacturing experience. The team includes scientists and engineers trained and formed at UH, enabling fast iteration from research to product-grade superconducting tape.

AMPeers has secured $9.3M in R&D funding, led by the DOE SBIR and U.S. Navy SBIR. AMPeers also holds a portfolio of issued and pending patents. We have progressed from pilot-line validation to delivering customer samples, supported entirely by awarded government research investment and internal scale-up facilities.

AMPeers' Vision

AMPeers develops high-temperature superconducting tape that delivers materially higher current density than conventional HTS manufacturing allows today. Our proprietary Advanced MOCVD fabrication technique preserves the benefits of large-area, continuous coating while embedding new efficiencies in precursor delivery, thermal uniformity, and defect monitoring. We have demonstrated long-length tape samples in operational conditions relevant to magnets and high-field power systems, validating a path to high-yield production and scalable conductor performance.

AMPeers focuses on scaling intrinsic production throughput, reducing cost per kiloampere-meter while maintaining high performance. Our pilot facilities support sampling and early output, and our manufacturing roadmap targets a cost reduction far below the industry standard, enabled by Advanced MOCVD. This vision is capital-intensive by nature, and the scale-up of domestic manufacturing lines in the U.S. is tied to strategic investment in capacity expansion, tooling parallelization, and engineering hiring, unlocking higher global supply and lower system-level costs for superconducting applications.
