We make what goes inside every quantum computer.

HydroNations converts municipal waste into quantum-grade nanomaterials using a patent-pending plasma arc process — co-generating green hydrogen from the same operation. The only commercial producer in the world. Zero competitors. Four patents.

The Market Gap

The only commercial
producer just died.

Designer Carbon Materials — an Oxford University spin-out and the only company ever to attempt commercial quantum materials production — is confirmed deadpooled as of 2026. They raised $26,000. Their arc discharge synthesis failed to scale.

HydroNations' plasma arc process is technically differentiated — a continuous gas-phase reaction with no consumable electrodes, eliminating the exact mechanism that killed the only prior attempt.

We hold four USPTO provisional patents. We hold the field.

The only documented commercial sale of quantum-grade endohedral fullerenes — £22,000 per 200 micrograms at Oxford in 2015 — establishes the fair market value benchmark. HydroNations validated tech transfer price: $140M per gram.
Patent-Pending Process

Plasma arc quantum
materials production

A 125 kW plasma arc torch at 15,000–20,000°C dissociates municipal waste at the molecular level and reassembles it into five categories of quantum-grade nanomaterials — while co-generating green hydrogen qualifying for IRA Section 45V at the highest credit tier of $3.00 per kilogram.

The Triad Distribution Model
Tranche 1
Strategic Reserve

Certified quantum material inventory held in a hardened secure vault as a long-term balance sheet asset. Controlled supply release maintains price stability — the De Beers model applied to quantum materials.

Vault accumulation → balance sheet asset
Tranche 2
Technology Transfer

Certified samples transferred to PhD researchers and national laboratories — Oak Ridge, Argonne, NIST — through institutional technology transfer office procedures. Dr. Daeha Joung (VCU) is the first confirmed customer.

$140M / gram · Oxford FMV basis
Tranche 3
Institutional Repo

Certified inventory pledged under UCC Article 7 warehouse receipt instruments — a centuries-old commodity financing mechanism converting stored reserve into institutional capital without requiring immediate market sale.

Three Taglines · One Story

The narrative that puts
Salisbury on the global map

Origin Story
Trash to Treasure
Cities pay HydroNations to accept municipal waste. The same garbage that costs communities money to dispose of becomes the raw material for the most valuable manufactured substance on earth. Negative feedstock cost. Circular economics applied to quantum technology.
Market Position
The Intel of Quantum Computing
Intel did not build computers. They built the chips inside every computer regardless of who won the race. HydroNations manufactures the quantum-grade materials that every quantum computer requires — regardless of which architecture wins. One process. Five materials. Zero competitors.
Civic Legacy
Salisbury: NanoTech Capital of the World
When quantum computing transforms medicine, defense, and climate science — the materials that made it possible will have come from Salisbury, North Carolina. The Rowan Chamber, Rowan EDC, EDPNC, RCCC, and HydroNations are building that declaration together.
University Research Network

The Virginia Research Triangle

Three Virginia research institutions connected through real relationships — not cold outreach. Technical validation, a first customer relationship, and a SBIR co-investigator pathway across George Mason, William and Mary, and VCU.

Community Infrastructure

Technology in service of community

Community benefit funded by production mechanics — not corporate generosity that can be withdrawn. The plasma arc runs. The community benefits.

🏛️
Rowan Chamber of Commerce Joint Venture
Mark Shropshire and HydroNations are co-producing the NanoTech Capital of the World convention franchise — a five-year event series anchored in Salisbury expanding to Raleigh in Year 2. The Cheerwine Festival proved Salisbury can host something people travel for. The NanoTech Capital Convention puts Salisbury on the global quantum technology map permanently.
Black Community Progress Initiative
BCPI is the democratic governance layer. Community assemblies authorize service expenditures funded by HydroNations' production mechanics — not philanthropy. Liberation Capitalism framework — community ownership of the economic infrastructure that deep technology creates. Active in Salisbury, NC with a 150-city national expansion pathway.
🎓
Yassamin Ansari Community Center for Girls in STEM
Named for Rep. Yassamin Ansari (AZ-3, House Energy and Commerce Committee). Targeted for the Winston-Salem area. Focus on STEM, finance, and policy — the three domains that determine who participates in the quantum economy. Every generation of the quantum workforce should know Salisbury produced the materials that made it possible.
⚙️
RCCC Workforce Pipeline
All HydroNations technical and operations positions sourced through the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Small Business Center workforce pipeline. Phase 1 creates 5 FTEs. Full NOVA ONE scale creates 200+ jobs — all in Rowan County, all from the local pipeline. Economic development that stays where it is built.
