1atomic

1atomic is an independent technology company that focuses on atomic-scale engineering and simulation solutions. The company was founded in 2019 by a team of physicists and software engineers led by Dr. Elaine Morris. It is headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom, and operates globally with clients in the semiconductor, energy storage, and pharmaceutical industries.

The core product of 1atomic is the AtomicSim Platform, a cloud‑based software suite that uses machine‑learning algorithms to model the behavior of individual electrons and atomic nuclei in complex materials. AtomicSim provides interactive visualizations, predictive analytics, and workflow automation for designing next‑generation batteries, catalysts, and quantum devices. Users can upload crystal structure files, apply a range of computational methods, and receive detailed reports on electronic density, band gaps, and reaction pathways. The platform has been adopted by several universities for academic research as well as by automotive and aerospace companies for material optimization.

Besides software, 1atomic offers consulting services that help organizations translate atomic‑scale insights into product prototypes. Its research team regularly publishes in peer‑reviewed journals and collaborates with national laboratories such as the National Physical Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In 2022, the company secured a Series B investment of £15 million, financed by venture funds that specialize in high‑technology and green energy ventures. 1atomic continues to expand its portfolio of simulated materials and is actively developing a suite of open‑source tools to broaden access to atomic‑scale modelling.
