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-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-070306 — The Need In many under-resourced or remote regions, access to safe drinking water is compromised by the lack of reliable electricity needed to power standard point-of-use (POU) treatment systems, such as UV disinfection units. Where clean water infrastructure is absent or unreliable, communities fac…

TS-070305 — The Need Muscle atrophy significantly impacts quality of life in patients with critical illness, chronic disease, aging, and even spaceflight. Current gold-standard diagnostic tools such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound are expensive, operator-dependent, and impractical for routine or home-based monitorin…

TS-070304 — The Need Current clinical methods for assessing tremor severity in patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders rely heavily on subjective, qualitative observations, such as evaluating hand-drawn spirals or observing motor tasks. These approaches lack precision, are difficult…

TS-070302 — The Need Current quantum computing technologies face significant challenges in scalability, error correction, and computational efficiency. There is a critical need for a robust, scalable quantum processor that can perform complex computations with high fidelity and low error rates, enabling advance…

TS-070030 — The Need Current photocatalytic technologies often require UV light for activation, limiting their efficiency and applicability under natural sunlight. Additionally, the short lifespan of photogenerated electrons and holes in TiO₂ nanoparticles hinders effective utilization. There is a need for a…

TS-069527 — The Need Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) data acquisition is often time-consuming and relies on complex reconstruction methods that do not fully exploit the spatial and temporal structure of CMR data. There is a need for a more efficient, unsupervised approach that can accelerate CMR imaging while maintai…

TS-069524 — The Need Global water scarcity is a critical issue, with many regions lacking access to clean and reliable water sources. Traditional water harvesting methods are often energy-intensive and inefficient. There is a pressing need for innovative, sustainable, and energy-efficient technologies to extra…
