Unlocking Scalable Non-Volatile Memory
TS-076603 — High-Stability Junctions for Next-Gen Chips
As traditional silicon CMOS microprocessors hit severe thermal limits, spintronics has emerged as the premier non-volatile alternative—encoding data using electron spin rather than charge to cut power drain. While spintronic systems like Magnesium Oxide (MgO )-based MRAM have successfully pr…

Saccharide Based RAFT Agents: Enabling the Next Generation of Biocompatible Smart Polymers
TS-075519 — A galactose-based RAFT chain transfer agent (Gal-RAFT) that incorporates a sugar moiety at the polymer terminus, enabling the synthesis
of well-defined polymers with an integrated carbohydrate h
andle for subsequent biological applications.
Overview
Most commercial RAFT agents are designed for polymerization control, including but not limited to chain length, architecture, and dispersity, and lack biologically relevant functionality for advanced drug delivery and targeting. Hence, incorporating a targeting molecule requires separate …

NanoCryptograph: Next-Generation Cryptography with Nanopore-Derived True Random Number Generation
TS-075198 — Nanopore-based cryptography enabling stronger, more reliable r
andomness for modern cybersecurity.
The Need
As digital infrastructure scales and cyber threats become more sophisticated, the integrity of cryptographic systems increasingly depends on the quality of their randomness. From encryption keys to authentication protocols, weak or predictable entropy can undermine even the most advanced …
