Biophan and NASA Ames Research Center for Nanotechnology Announce Joint Development Agreement.

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. & ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Space Act Agreement Focused on Development of Advanced Thermoelectric Materials for Implantable Power Systems

Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BIPH), announced today that its TE-Bio subsidiary has signed an agreement with NASA for characterization and joint development of high-density, nanoengineered thermoelectric materials for use with implantable medical devices. Research will be conducted at the NASA Ames Research Center for Nanotechnology in Moffett Field, CA.

Successful outcomes of the agreement are anticipated to provide breakthrough power generation systems for use in implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers, as well as long-life, light-weight power for use in future space exploration applications. Specifically, NASA is supporting Biophan's efforts and hoping to utilize its technology to further develop on-board power for astronaut health monitors.

The Nanotechnology Center at NASA Ames will provide access to expertise in a collaborative arrangement for the benefit of both parties. The agreement combines NASA's expertise with thermoelectric materials and state-of-the-art nanotechnology development with Biophan's innovative power solution that has the potential to greatly improve patient quality of life and lower healthcare costs.

"This agreement with NASA highlights our commitment to collaborate with world-class development centers for commercializing the technologies that are part of Biophan's portfolio," stated Michael Weiner, CEO of Biophan. "Crew health and safety is a key concern in the U.S. space programs and we expect this relationship to be mutually beneficial. With each new agreement, the viability of our research and that of our subsidiaries grows, and we look forward to a long, fruitful development alliance with NASA."

"We are pleased to be working with Biophan on a joint research initiative to help advance the concept of an implanted biothermal power source to power medical sensing and therapeutic devices. On deep space missions such as a trip to Mars, having efficient ways to monitor and treat astronauts can be very useful, the benefits for humans with implanted devices is very clear," said David Lackner, technology partnership manager at NASA Ames Research Center.

Biophan recently acquired a majority interest in TE-Bio, the research and development company that is developing the long-life power source serving as the subject of the agreement with NASA.

About the NASA Ames Center for Nanotechnology

NASA Ames' nanotechnology effort started in early 1996 and has steadily grown to establish a Center for Nanotechnology. The research work focuses on experimental research and development in nano and biotechnologies as well as on a strong complementary modeling and simulation effort that includes computational nanotechnology, computational nanoelectronics, computational optoelectronics, and computational modeling of processes encountered in nanofabrication. The Center has about 55 scientists working on the above aspects; in addition, graduate students, faculty on sabbatical or summer visits, and undergraduate and high school students work at the Center through various internship programs.

The Center's vision is to develop novel concepts in nanotechnology for NASA's future needs on electronics, computing, sensors, and advanced miniaturization of all systems; and to develop highly integrated and intelligent simulation environment that facilitates the rapid development and validation of future generation electronic devices as well as associated materials and processes through virtual prototyping at multiple levels of fidelity.
