Our Company
Nanolux is a Swiss deep-tech company based in Zug. We develop a next-generation dry-physical robotic process that selectively recovers valuable fissile isotopes from spent nuclear fuel and enables their reuse for energy.
Guided by the principle “Waste to Watt,” we transform long-lived radioactive residues into a safe, CO₂-free energy source. Our technology significantly reduces both the volume and long-term radiotoxicity of high-level waste that would otherwise require geological disposal.
What sets us apart is the integration of robotic workflows, digital twins (twin-tech), and a dry, modular process architecture designed for safety, precision, and reproducibility. The core of our technology is non-chemical sorting of SNF based on intrinsic signatures, enabling consistent quality and efficient throughput—from initial conditioning to the delivery of transport- and storage-ready materials.
Beyond our core processes, we develop mobile solutions such as MobiMOX, a licensed on-site unit that accepts SNF, processes it via dry routes, separates isotopes, and produces compliant, transport- and storage-ready forms. This minimizes interface risks, reduces logistical complexity, and streamlines operations for partners and facility operators.
Our mission is clear: to enable a sustainable, safe, and economically viable future for nuclear recycling. By advancing circular use of nuclear materials, we aim to support national goals for energy independence and a carbon-free energy strategy.
Nanolux is an engineering-focused team working on dry, robotic solutions for spent nuclear fuel processing.
Our work combines nuclear engineering, process design, robotics, and fuel cycle technologies.
We develop systems for non-chemical separation and integration into advanced fuel cycle architectures.The focus is on reducing process complexity, eliminating liquid phases, and enabling modular, automated operation.
What unites us is a shared belief that the next generation of nuclear innovation must be safer and cleaner. This mindset is the foundation of Nanolux
It is why we challenge conventional approaches, why we build modular robotic systems instead of legacy wet-chemical processes, and why we focus on solutions that turn nuclear waste into new energy potential.
We bring together engineering excellence with entrepreneurial vision—combining the rigor of the nuclear sector with the speed and creativity of deep-tech innovation. Our team is driven not only by what nuclear technology has been, but by what it can become: a cornerstone of secure, low-carbon energy for generations to come.
