The Mountain View, California-based Cambrios is helping drive a revolutionary shift to the use of nano-engineered inorganic material in the creation of electronic components. ATEL Venture's financing package will support Cambrios' rapid development of tangible manifestations of the technology and find commercialization partners with which to bring them to market.
