Micromem Technologies Inc. Enhances Team To
Advance Development of Wearables Gas Sensing Project
Toronto, Ontario and New York, New York, May 11, 2026 - Micromem Technologies Inc. ("Micromem" or the "Company") (CSE: MRM, OTCQB: MMTIF) ) is pleased to announce the engagement of two engineering students from the University of Toronto (the "University") to support the next phase of its gas sensor development program under its collaborative research agreement with the Department of National Defence ("DND") and the University.
This initiative builds on the Company's recent progress in ultra-high sensitivity gas detection and accelerates the transition towards integrated wearable gas sensing solutions.
The engineering students will start mid-May and work directly with the University's research team on critical software and hardware systems required for wearable platforms, including sensor integration, signal processing, data acquisition, and miniaturization efforts. The current phase focuses on developing robust, low-power wearable architectures designed to bridge the gap between laboratory-based high-sensitivity nanowire technology and real-world, field-deployable systems. These advancements aim to meet the demanding performance requirements of defense applications while opening pathways to broader commercialization in industrial, environmental, and personal safety markets.
Engaging these engineering students represents an important step in strengthening the collaboration with the University and the DND. Their contributions will help accelerate the development of practical wearable gas sensors capable of delivering real-time, high-sensitivity detection in dynamic environments.
Micromem's gas-phase sensing platform, based on proprietary nanowire field-effect transistor technology, continues to target dual-use applications. Against a backdrop of increasing global investment in defense and security technologies, Micromem's dual-use sensing platform is strategically positioned to address both defense requirements and broader commercial applications across industrial, environmental, and safety markets.
Wearable formats have the potential to significantly enhance situational awareness and personnel safety for defense personnel, first responders, and industrial users by enabling continuous, unobtrusive monitoring of hazardous gases and volatile compounds. The Company anticipates that this phase of development will lead to functional wearable prototypes, followed by validation testing and evaluation with defense stakeholders and potential commercial partners.
Further updates will be provided as key technical milestones are achieved.
