TS-067551 — Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3) is an inorganic compound with semi-conductivity properties (e.g., a large bandgap) that can be used for developing power electronics, UV photodetectors, solar cells, and sensors. βeta-Ga2O3, a polymorph, has a distinct advantage over other semiconductors that have high cri…

TS-067535 — The Need In future decades, more people than ever will be spending time in space. Current crop production systems onboard spacecraft are not self-sustainable, relying on fertilizer and substrate materials that must be launched from Earth. These resupply missions can cost thousands of dollars per po…

TS-067160 — The Need Due to the unparalleled ability of Mass spectrometry (MS) to identify and quantify substances at the molecular level it is an indispensable tool in various industries, from pharmaceuticals and forensics to environmental monitoring and materials science. However, the power of MS is often hi…

TS-067158 — The Need Mass spectrometry (MS) is used across a wide range of applications for detection of various chemical analytes such as drug metabolites, pesticides, food adulterants, and natural product extracts. Recent developments have transformed MS into an all-purpose technique for in-situ and real-tim…

TS-067045 — The Need Wireless implants with integrated antennas are highly desirable for diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring applications due to their ability to communicate directly with external devices. However, the need for major surgical incisions to implant these devices poses significant risks, incl…

TS-066963 — The Need Exposure to mold in homes costs billions of dollars every year. Exposure is particularly harmful to the 8% of the United States population that suffers from asthma; a leading cause of disability in children. Currently, odor, visible mold growth, and dampness are the best indicators of mold…

TS-066962 — The Need Viral disease surveillance (e.g. influenza, SARS-CoV-2) in high-risk settings faces several challenges, such as asymptomatic carriers, incomplete reporting, resource limitations, and delayed diagnosis of traditional swab test methods. These challenges could allow a virus to silently spread…

TS-066957 — The Need Colorimetric tests and remote image analysis are used in a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Digital image-based measurements made with smartphones are a promising platform to quantify colors at low cost, but suffer from inconsistency and errors caused by lens quality, sen…

TS-066793 — The Need In agriculture, the accurate measurement of gasses such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) is crucial for optimizing fertilizer use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing air pollution. Current monitoring technologies are often expensive, complex, and not suitable…

TS-066752 — In today's fast-paced commercial and scientific environments, there is an increasing demand for precise and efficient analytical techniques capable of handling complex mixtures with diverse physicochemical properties. Existing ionization techniques like Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmosp…
