TS-073225 — In today's world, we are increasingly using low-cost devices with limited resources (often referred to as "edge devices") which are supported by connected high-performance servers. However, these edge devices often can't handle complex tasks such as classifying data. To make this possible, we need…

TS-073184 — Direct air capture (DAC) technologies are essential for meeting global carbon‑reduction goals, yet most current systems remain limited by high energy demand, high cost, and materials with insufficient stability. Traditional solid‑sorbent DAC approaches require significant thermal input for reg…

TS-072578 — The Need Current lightweight conductors, such as copper and aluminum, face limitations in specific electrical conductivity, flexibility, and thermal management, especially for demanding applications in electrified transportation and aerospace. There is a critical need for conductors that combine hig…

TS-072321 — The Need Current virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) platforms lack integration of gustatory (taste) sensations, limiting user immersion and sensory engagement. Existing human-machine interfaces focus primarily on visual, auditory, and haptic feedback, neglecting the chemical dimension of taste. T…

TS-072319 — The Need Current methods for mapping electrical potential gradients in biological tissues, such as the brain, rely on high-density electrode arrays fabricated via costly microfabrication techniques. These rigid devices struggle to conform to complex tissue morphologies, limiting their effectiveness …

TS-071809 — The Need Syngas is an essential intermediate for producing high-value chemicals such as gasoline, methanol, and dimethyl ether. Current industrial methods (steam reforming, autothermal reforming, and partial oxidation) are energy-intensive, costly, and environmentally burdensome. Moreover, these met…

TS-071808 — The Need Industrial syngas and hydrogen production processes are highly energy-intensive and contribute significantly to carbon emissions due to reliance on fossil fuel combustion. Existing methods require multiple unit operations, resulting in low efficiency and high operational costs. There is a c…

TS-071806 — The Need Current syngas production from methane relies on energy-intensive air separation units (ASUs) to supply molecular oxygen, driving up capital and operating costs. Conventional catalysts also suffer from carbon deposition at low oxidant concentrations, limiting process flexibility and efficie…

TS-070520 — The Need Accurate, real-time mapping of shear forces in fluid environments remains a challenge, particularly in applications requiring passive, non-invasive, and long-term monitoring. Existing technologies often rely on active sensors that require power, are difficult to integrate into sensitive sys…

TS-068475 — The Need As mmWave technology becomes the backbone of 5G and other advanced communication systems, the demand for fast, reliable, and scalable beamforming solutions has surged. Traditional beam-training methods are computationally intensive and time-consuming, leading to delays in establishing high-…
