ASPI News & Events

ASP Isotopes announced that a UK subsidiary of Quantum Leap Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASPI, has commenced a strategic collaboration with the University of Bristol for the design of a lithium laser research facility in the UK. Under the terms of the agreement, the University of Bristol will lead the design and feasibility study for a site-agnostic laser enrichment research facility over an estimated four-month initial phase. The project involves desk-based concept design work, engineering specifications, and safety reviews to establish the foundation for a research hub. Subject to a positive feasibility assessment, the parties intend to proceed with construction of the facility at a suitable University of Bristol site off-campus where it will enable cutting-edge research commissioned and funded by QLE.
