TS-074925 — There is a growing demand for non-invasive, scalable solutions to improve mental well-being, reduce stress, and enhance productivity across diverse environments such as homes, workplaces, healthcare settings, and education. Existing approaches operate largely in isolation and fail to dynamically r…

TS-074864 — Modern structural systems increasingly demand integrated sensing, actuation, and health monitoring capabilities, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. However, current approaches rely on separately fabricated sensors that are later attached to structures, introducing r…

TS-074383 — Many advanced sensing, imaging, and optoelectronic systems rely on compound semiconductors that outperform silicon in key spectral and electronic regimes, particularly in the infrared. However, these materials are expensive and difficult to scale, while silicon remains the industry standard for hi…

TS-074268 — Real-time and free-breathing MRI applications, particularly in cardiovascular imaging, require high temporal resolution to capture rapid physiological dynamics. However, optimal temporal resolution is often patient- and application-specific and may not be known before the scan. Existing Cartesian …

TS-073810 — Next-generation power electronics demand materials that can support ultra-high breakdown voltages, low leakage currents, and scalable manufacturing. While β-Ga₂O₃ is highly attractive for these applications, device performance has been limited by the lack of high-quality, thick drift layers w…

TS-073809 — High-sensitivity detection in the mid-wave and long-wave infrared (MWIR/LWIR) remains constrained by detector noise, limited gain, and manufacturing challenges. While HgCdTe avalanche photodiodes can deliver excellent performance, they suffer from high cost, low yield, and limited manufacturabilit…

TS-072052 — The Need Current wearable sensors for muscle health are limited in their ability to track real-time geometric changes in muscle size and shape, especially outside controlled laboratory environments. Existing solutions, such as force myography and ultrasound, either lack direct geometric insight or a…

TS-071961 — The Need Despite near-perfect external quantum efficiency in blue InGaN LEDs, devices emitting green, amber, and longer visible wavelengths remain inefficient. This is due to internal electric fields and charge separation in conventional quantum wells, which worsen with higher indium content and wid…

TS-071747 — High-accuracy 3D depth perception is critical for autonomous systems, but current stereo camera methods falter in complex outdoor environments. While LiDAR can improve accuracy, its effectiveness plummets when using sparse data from affordable, lower-beam sensors, making high performance prohibiti…

TS-071744 — The Need Current inkjet printing technologies are limited by the need for inks with specific viscosity and ejection properties, which restricts the range of printable materials and compromises print resolution due to droplet splashing. There is a significant need for a printing method that enables…
