TS-074779 — Myopia is rapidly increasing worldwide and is now recognized as a leading cause of irreversible vision impairment due to associated complications such as retinal degeneration, glaucoma, and structural eye changes. Despite this growing burden, clinicians lack practical tools to assess structural ch…

TS-074669 — Current cardiac MRI workflows rely heavily on breath-holds, ECG gating, and retrospective binning, which break down in patients with arrhythmias, irregular breathing, or limited ability to cooperate. Existing 3D approaches often average away beat-to-beat variability or suffer from motion artifacts…

TS-074441 — Chemical looping gasification and combustion are promising pathways for low‑carbon energy conversion, CO₂ capture, and syngas production, but their commercial deployment is constrained by the performance of available oxygen carrier materials. Existing metal oxide oxygen carriers often suffer f…

TS-073930 — Many industrial gas–solid reactions, such as ironmaking, chemical looping, and other redox-based processes, are fundamentally constrained by thermodynamic equilibrium in conventional reactor designs. Single-inlet/single-outlet reactors force tradeoffs between gas conversion and solid conversion,…

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-072321 — The Need Current virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) platforms lack integration of gustatory (taste) sensations, limiting user immersion and sensory engagement. Existing human-machine interfaces focus primarily on visual, auditory, and haptic feedback, neglecting the chemical dimension of taste. T…

TS-072319 — The Need Current methods for mapping electrical potential gradients in biological tissues, such as the brain, rely on high-density electrode arrays fabricated via costly microfabrication techniques. These rigid devices struggle to conform to complex tissue morphologies, limiting their effectiveness …

TS-071809 — The Need Syngas is an essential intermediate for producing high-value chemicals such as gasoline, methanol, and dimethyl ether. Current industrial methods (steam reforming, autothermal reforming, and partial oxidation) are energy-intensive, costly, and environmentally burdensome. Moreover, these met…

TS-071808 — The Need Industrial syngas and hydrogen production processes are highly energy-intensive and contribute significantly to carbon emissions due to reliance on fossil fuel combustion. Existing methods require multiple unit operations, resulting in low efficiency and high operational costs. There is a c…
