Why did Syzygy Plasmonics choose the name Syzygy?

Why did Syzygy Plasmonics choose the name Syzygy?

Syzygy is a term that originally comes from Greek, meaning "yoked together" or "conjunction." In astronomy, it refers to the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and earth during an eclipse . More broadly, it signifies alignment and connection.

How does Syzygy's technology work?

How does Syzygy's technology work?

Our technology platform is built around the proprietary Rigel™ photoreactor and advanced photocatalyst. This light-driven system enables chemical reactions at unprecedented efficiency, producing high-demand molecules with radically fewer greenhouse gases. The Rigel™ reactors are designed from basic, affordable materials and can be scaled to meet various production needs, from 1 ton to over 100 tons per day. By simply switching out the catalyst and feeds, the same reactor can produce hydrogen, syngas, and other high-value chemicals.
