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-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-075572 — The transition to advanced electronics, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and defense technologies is driving growing demand for rare-earth elements. However, many valuable rare-earth resources exist in dilute waste streams, recycling processes, low-grade leachates, and hydrometallurgic…

TS-074913 — Energy and chemical industries increasingly rely on hydrogen, natural gas, and syngas streams that require efficient removal of CO₂ and H₂S to meet purity and regulatory requirements. Conventional separation technologies (e.g., amine absorption, adsorption, cryogenic distillation) are energy-i…

TS-074248 — Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions remain a major regulatory and environmental challenge for power generation, industrial combustion, and waste incineration. The dominant abatement technology, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), relies on ammonia or urea, introducing safety, cost, and operational co…

TS-074216 — Reducing debris‑related drainage failures while lowering maintenance risk and lifecycle costs for transportation infrastructure owners.

TS-074143 — Across desalination, water reuse, and other separation markets, operators continue to face a fundamental tradeoff between membrane permeability and selectivity. Existing commercial polyamide membranes often sacrifice water flux to achieve high salt rejection, driving higher energy consumption, inc…

TS-074040 — Unlocking a low‑energy, scalable biological platform for degrading for reducing bioplastic and microplastic accumulation. Overview Plastic and bioplastic residues continue to build up in water, soil, and composting systems, creating long‑term environmental and regulatory challenges. Althoug…

TS-073403 — The rapid growth of electric vehicles and energy storage systems is driving an unprecedented volume of end‑of‑life lithium‑ion batteries, creating both environmental and supply‑chain challenges. Conventional recycling routes focus on metal recovery through energy‑intensive processes and …

TS-073219 — Global demand for low‑carbon hydrogen is rising, yet current methods carry efficiency penalties, complex gas clean‑up, and cost and footprint burdens. These drawbacks are amplified when upgrading dilute or variable‑quality feedstocks such as biogas and waste‑derived fuels. Industry needs a…
