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-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-063911 — Porosity formation during the solidification of aluminum-based alloys, induced by hydrogen gas and alloy shrinkage, presents a significant challenge for industries relying on high-performance solidification products such as castings, welds, and additively manufactured components. This issue advers…

TS-061849 — The Rare Earth Element Trap-Extract-Precipitate (REE-TEP) process is a cost-effective and environmentally benign approach to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from acidic waste streams. It involves beneficial reuse of readily available industrial by-products and a naturally occurring organic ligand resulting in REE concentrate that can be commercially processed to produce rare earth oxides (REOs).
