Tesseract 4D Energy, Inc.
Tesseract 4D Energy, Inc., founded by Anamary Daniel, Dr. Troy Howe, and Boaz Buechley, is redefining what nuclear power can be through compact, solid-state, inherently safe technology.
At the center of this mission is ZAPP, a new class of microreactor that converts fission heat directly into electricity using advanced thermoelectric (Seebeck) materials. By eliminating turbines, steam cycles, and large balance-of-plant systems, ZAPP enables a fully sealed core with no pathways for radiation release and no environmental risk. This approach marks a decisive break from conventional nuclear paradigms and opens the door to a cleaner, simpler, and safer generation of nuclear power.
