Hyderabad – September 12, 2026 -- Indian deep-tech firm Hylenr Technologies has detected signatures of 32 elements, including rare-earth species and actinides, forming inside engineered hydrogen-loaded nickel-palladium lattice structures, opening a potential alternative pathway to mining for strategic-material production.
Two years of analysis reveal 32 elemental signatures across light, heavy and noble-gas categories
Over approximately two years of post-operation material analysis, Hylenr Technologies identified signatures corresponding to 32 elements compared against pre-operation baseline samples of the same catalyst material used as a control. The detections span light and heavy elements, noble gases including helium, neon and argon, strategically important rare-earth species such as yttrium, and actinides including uranium.
Each signature was corroborated using more than one independent analytical technique, including Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (WDX) and Residual Gas Analysis (RGA).
Findings build on more than a decade of lattice confinement fusion research
The results stem from over 10 years of work by Hylenr Technologies on nuclear fusion technology based on lattice confinement fusion, conducted in collaboration with international research institutions.
