TS-067793 — The technology is a device and method for producing high purity tritium gas by irradiating a lithium composition within a gas cell that selectively allows tritium to diffuse while blocking other byproducts, ensuring efficient and direct collection of pure tritium without extensive purification. This system is designed to enhance the purity, efficiency, and scalability of tritium production for various industrial and research applications.

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-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-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-066056 — The Need The advancement of lithium-ion battery technology relies heavily on increasing energy density, yet practical usage of silicon (Si) anodes faces challenges due to parasitic side reactions and active lithium consumption. Controlling lithium amounts precisely while achieving uniform distribut…

TS-066037 — The Need In the realm of materials science and energy storage, there's a growing demand for innovative anode synthesis methods that yield materials with improved mechanical and electrochemical properties. Traditional synthesis techniques often fall short in achieving the desired performance met…

TS-066016 — The Need Redox flow batteries (RFBs) offer a promising solution for storing intermittent renewable energy in the electrical grid. However, their reliance on finite and unsustainable transition metals, such as vanadium, poses significant sustainability challenges. The rising costs and environmental …

TS-066015 — The Need Over the past two decades, the advancement of metal-O2 batteries has been hindered by issues of instability, reversibility, and poor energy efficiency, primarily due to the instability of superoxide in the presence of Li+ and Na+ ions. Existing solutions such as Li-O2 and Na-O2 batteries h…

TS-065430 — Cost-effective method to prevent damaged electrodes when welding thin foils.

TS-065424 — Due to environmental concerns and the decreasing supply of fossil fuels, there is substantial demand for nuclear-based energy production. Nuclear energy now provides about 10% of the world's electricity from about 440 power reactors and is the second largest source of low-carbon power. In addition, over 50 smaller countries utilize nuclear energy in about 220 research-size reactors. These reactors are used to produce medical and industrial isotopes and several other purposes.
