Texas A&M researcher, Dr. Oliver Murphy had a vision: take the innovations discovered in his chemical lab and apply them to the consumer market. He had already made advancements in electrochemical processes, and he suspected the ideas were economically viable. In 1987 he trusted his instinct and started Lynntech, Inc. which began developing products in a wide range of areas, including energy conversion, biotechnology, biomaterials, sensors, nanomaterials, and environmental remediation.
