TS-076522 — Manufacturers across aerospace, energy, transportation, and advanced manufacturing sectors require reliable methods to inspect critical components without destructive testing. Conventional ultrasonic inspections often provide only bulk through-thickness information, making it difficult to isolate …

TS-076401 — Many progressive diseases, including cardiac, neurological, and other chronic disorders, begin with subtle molecular and cellular changes long before conventional clinical signs become detectable. Current diagnostic approaches generally identify disease only after significant tissue remodeling or …

TS-076325 — UV LEDs, particularly those operating at shorter wavelengths, face persistent challenges in achieving high optical efficiency. Conventional device architectures can suffer from significant internal absorption and inefficient light extraction, limiting wall-plug efficiency and increasing power requ…

TS-076286 — Literature shows that Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) combined with fluid instillation can improve abdominal trauma patient outcomes. Current standards of practice are inefficient, involving assembly and off-label use of at least 8 medical products. This is further complicated by varied pro…

TS-076198 — Advanced photonic systems for communications, sensing, computing, and quantum technologies increasingly rely on lithium niobate due to its exceptional electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties. However, existing high-performance lithium niobate photonic devices face major commercialization ba…

TS-076188 — Polypropylene (PP) is an attractive engineering polymer due to its low cost, recyclability, chemical resistance, and favorable processing characteristics. However, conventional PP is notoriously difficult to foam because of its low melt strength and highly crystalline structure, often resulting in…

TS-076137 — Heavy-duty trucks consume significant fuel during highway operation, with aerodynamic drag representing a major source of energy loss and operating expense. As fleet operators face increasing pressure to reduce fuel costs, improve vehicle efficiency, and lower emissions, there is a growing need fo…

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-076011 — Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is increasingly being adopted in infrastructure and construction applications due to its corrosion resistance and durability. However, joining or terminating these reinforcement elements remains a significant challenge. Many established coupling and anc…

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…
