TS-071787 — The Need Current bone fixation devices are typically made from stainless steel or titanium, which are significantly stiffer than bone and often require surgical removal. Magnesium alloys offer a promising alternative due to their bone-like mechanical properties and bioresorbability. However, commerc…

TS-071088 — The Need The transportation industry increasingly relies on aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) casting alloys to reduce vehicle weight and emissions. However, structural applications demand high ductility and strict impurity limits, making them incompatible with most recycled aluminum. Current secondary alloy…

TS-070308 — The Need Current lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials suffer from poor electronic conductivity and limited lithium-ion diffusion, especially under high-rate charging conditions. These limitations hinder the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) in demanding applications such as elect…

TS-070307 — The Need The rapid growth of electric vehicles and portable electronics demands lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that support fast charging without compromising cycle life or safety. Silicon anodes offer high theoretical capacity but suffer from severe volume expansion during cycling, leading to mechani…

TS-069805 — The Need Welding or bonding steel to aluminum is challenging due to the formation of brittle Fe-Al intermetallic compounds, which weaken the joints. Current methods require alternative, costly joining processes. There is a critical need for a solution that allows the use of traditional welding tech…
