TS-076055 — Microplastics and, increasingly, nanoplastics, are emerging contaminants of concern in water systems, consumer products, and environmental samples. However, most existing analytical workflows are optimized for larger particles and often fail to reliably isolate, quantify, and identify plastics in …

TS-076011 — Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is increasingly being adopted in infrastructure and construction applications due to its corrosion resistance and durability. However, joining or terminating these reinforcement elements remains a significant challenge. Many established coupling and anc…

TS-075918 — Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential for advanced manufacturing, energy technologies, electronics, and defense applications, yet their separation remains one of the most challenging and costly steps in the supply chain. Conventional separation methods often require extensive processing, hazard…

TS-075868 — Clinicians managing pediatric patients supported by a ventricular assist device must routinely assess pump performance by visually estimating membrane fill and ejection during pump cycles. These evaluations are critical for patient management but are inherently subjective, time-consuming, and pron…

TS-075845 — Drug discovery, biologics development, cell therapy research, and advanced in vitro testing all rely on large numbers of cell-based experiments. While continuous perfusion can improve biological relevance by maintaining nutrient availability, removing waste products, and better mimicking physiolog…

TS-075834 — Indoor moisture and mold exposure remain significant challenges for building owners, environmental testing providers, and public health stakeholders. Existing detection methods often focus on visible contamination, microbial growth, or genetic signatures, but they may not directly measure biologic…

TS-075755 — Electrification of high-power off-highway equipment remains challenging due to highly variable operating conditions, unpredictable duty cycles, demanding torque requirements, and limited charging infrastructure. Conventional energy management approaches often struggle to balance fuel efficiency, b…

TS-075750 — Agricultural tractors operate under highly variable conditions that make power demand, fuel consumption, and equipment performance difficult to predict. Differences in soil characteristics, terrain, field layouts, implements, and operator practices can cause substantial variability in energy use, …

TS-075721 — Transportation manufacturers continue to face increasing pressure to improve vehicle energy efficiency, extend electric vehicle range, and reduce emissions without adding significant cost, weight, or system complexity. While passive aerodynamic features such as strakes and deflectors are commonly …

TS-075686 — The rapid growth of AI training and high-performance computing workloads is driving chip power densities beyond the capabilities of many conventional cooling approaches. Data center operators face a difficult tradeoff between supporting next-generation high-power processors and controlling the sub…
