TS-073740 — Magnesium is the lightest structural metal and offers compelling weight‑reduction potential for transportation and other markets. However, broader adoption has been limited by the poor room‑temperature formability, modest strength, and narrow processing windows of conventional magnesium extrus…

TS-073620 — Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a highly toxic and corrosive impurity in syngas, natural gas, biogas, and sulfur plant tail gas. Its removal is essential for safety, regulatory compliance, and downstream processing such as carbon capture and sulfur recovery. However, H₂S is typically present with la…

TS-073586 — The transition to low-carbon energy and chemicals requires efficient separation of CO₂ from hydrogen-rich gas streams, particularly in high-pressure syngas environments such as coal or natural gas gasification. Existing separation technologies (e.g., solvent absorption or conventional membranes)…

TS-073289 — Understanding how cells respond to soluble signals under diffusion-limited conditions remains a significant gap in current in vitro models. Most microfluidic systems rely on convective flow, which does not accurately reflect transport in interstitial tissue or solid tumors, where diffusion dominat…

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-073051 — Surgeons routinely hand‑bend standard titanium or stainless‑steel fixation plates to conform to patient anatomy, a manual process that is time‑consuming, inconsistent, and prone to gaps, reversed bends, and unfavorable residual stress. Each of these factors can compromise fixation and outcom…

TS-072841 — Modern thermal management demands fast, accurate, and spatially compact heat flux sensing to complement temperature measurements, enable real‑time control, and estimate internal temperatures without waiting for equilibrium. Conventional longitudinal thermopower sensors trade sensitivity for resp…

TS-072615 — The Need Efficient carbon dioxide (CO₂) utilization and separation remain critical challenges in energy, chemical, and environmental sectors. Existing processes for CO₂ conversion to carbon monoxide (CO) and for separating CO₂/CO mixtures are energy-intensive, costly, and often lack selectivit…

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-072270 — The Need Current heat flux sensors rely on indirect temperature gradient measurements across thick materials, resulting in slow response times and limited sensitivity. There is a growing demand for compact, fast, and highly sensitive heat flux sensors for various applications. Existing technologies …
