Atomic Architects

Design.
Assemble.
Scale.

We build the autonomous assembly platform that makes 2D heterostructure devices reproducible, precise, and scalable.

Our origins

From the Quantum
Photonics Laboratory.

Atomic Architects originates in the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at Heriot-Watt University.

Our team combines expertise in 2D materials and optical spectroscopy with automation, machine vision, and hardware and software engineering.

We replace artisan manual fabrication with an instrument that autonomously builds complex 2D devices in a reproducible fashion.

The team

Science meets
product engineering.
