Dirac Nanotechnology was born in 2018 as an innovative start-up thanks to its founders Federico, a nanotechnological engineering student, and Davide, a young businessman, both aspiring to bring nanotechnology closer to the real world. Both experts in the characterization of functional nanomaterials, they came up with the idea to use them to develop, produce and sell products and treatments based on nanotechnology, accessible to everyone. Nowadays, nanotechnology represents a consolidated and booming reality which, such as other big innovations, is revolutionizing every aspect of human life. Dirac is a pioneer in this technology, thanks to its know-how and its expertise in functionalized nano materials creation and in their application to the real world.
We want to create and develop the most advanced nanotechnological solutions to improve existing products and materials, always focusing on environment and ecosustainability. We believe in a smarter world, where technology and innovation simplify and improve life quality and help men rediscover the ancient balance with nature.
The idea of albero was born from a Federico’s need. He was born and raised in a small country village and when he moved to Rome, he found himself fighting with its awful air quality standards. Therefore, we have searched for an idea to remove air pollutants, knowing that we needed to start from indoor spaces, where we spend most of our time and where pollution levels can be much higher than outdoor.

The Team
History
Dirac starts developing nanotechnologies for huge structures with the aim to preserve and enhance the times and to reduce the environmental impact of cleaning and maintenance operations. In the same year Dirac develops a nanotechnology for air purification and files for an Italian patent for indoor and outdoor purification systems. Lazio Region believes in the project and invests 30.000 euro.
The first albero Home – the purifier designed for up to 50sqm indoor spaces– is born.
Albero Home is launched on Indiegogo and reaches pre-orders for 200.000 euros. In the same year the patent becomes official and is extended to Europe, USA and China. .
Tuscany Region also believes in the project and funds the implementation of albero Space and albero Urban with 1.5 million euros. The company experiences an exponential growth, also thanks to the support of big Italian companies.
Tree Space market launch for large indoor spaces and first installations in the city of albero Urban.
