Innovation at City Labs
City Labs doesn’t just make batteries; we enable groundbreaking technologies. Our NanoTritium™ battery technology is being applied in increasingly diverse and challenging environments, from powering leadless pacemakers to supplying energy for satellite components and sensors exploring the surface of the Moon.
We’re constantly experimenting with new ways to leverage our technology, collaborating with industry leaders to create custom solutions that are as flexible as they are powerful. Whether it’s enabling small satellite propulsion systems or supporting defense applications, innovation is at the core of what we do.

Our History
City Labs was founded in April 2005 with the vision of creating a high-tech company in South Florida focused on long-term energy solutions. Key milestones include:
- 2008: Developed the first NanoTritium™ prototypes, which passed extreme temperature, vibration, and pressure testing.
- 2010: Achieved the industry’s first General License for the distribution of tritium betavoltaic batteries, allowing for easy, license-free purchases by end users.
- 2012: Sold first generally licensed battery to NASA JPL (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory).
- 2015: Partnership with Orbital ATK, now Northrop Grumman, to develop a high-power density tritium battery for space satellite applications.
- 2018/2019: City Labs receives its first NASA Award for a tritium battery for space applications.
- 2019: City Labs receives its first NIH award for a tritium battery for a leadless cardiac pacemaker.
- 2022: City Labs receives the first major component of the new tritium production facility.
- Today: City Labs continues to expand the capabilities of its NanoTritium™ batteries to power a broader range of applications, including medical implants, COMSEC devices, and space technologies.
The Future of City Labs
The future of nuclear micropower is vast, and City Labs is committed to leading the way. We are constantly working to enhance nuclear battery technology to improve existing use cases and expand its applications.
