In the Phase 1 project, NanoScale discovered a group of cathode nanocomposites with an exceptionally high capacitance of 270 F/g… more
Abstract:High efficiency, low pollution, and long lifetime make hydrogen-powered fuel cells desirable for portable power generation by the Army. However, it is impractical to transport hydrogen to where it is needed. Instead, reforming a transportable liquid fuel such as JP-8 or diesel fuel can produce the… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research Phase-II project is aimed at developing Micro Metal Sphere (MMS) fabrication technology for Radio-Frequency (RF) Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) switch. The target applications are high-bandwidth RF switches and digitally-tunable RF modules that can be… more
Abstract:Successful military operations require dominant control of the electromagnetic spectrum in the battlefield. Smokes and obscurants are becoming increasingly important to block the function of enemy optical tracking systems and sensors during day and night operations. Fielded munitions are optimized… more
Abstract:ABSTRACT: Carbon fiber-reinforced composites undergo subcritical damage well before final failure. A self-healing composite material is proposed that will autonomously sense and repair localized damage in composite structures. Healing is accomplished via two main components. The first component is… more
Abstract:A Single Cell time-of-flight Mass Spectrometer (SCMS) that is enabled by the use of a nanoparticle based MALDI matrix will be fabricated and tested. Unlike traditional surface-receptor-based cell phenotyping and identification techniques, the SCMS system will be able to differentiate between cell… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Control of infection and thrombosis in total artificial heart technology has been of great concern for the last five decades. Even for totally implantable total artificial hearts, infection control is necessary because patients still need percutaneous lines for… more
Abstract:A significant fraction of new battlefield instrumentation is based on lasers and the performance of directed energy weapons (DEW) has improved. Therefore, the susceptibility of modern weapon, reconnaissance, and surveillance systems in particular those with optical sensors is acute. Recent… more
Abstract:In this Phase II effort, we will scale-up to commercial levels a proprietary technology for producing highly semiconducting enriched (99%) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The technology utilizes a technique, called density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU), to separate as-grown SNWTs by… more
Abstract:NanoLambda, Inc has requested support for a one year membership to the Agile Innovation System that was recently selected as the recipient of the Economic Development Administrations Region 1 i6 award. In collaboration with the "Agile Innovation Process" project team, this proposal will… more
Abstract:The state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries do not fully meet the energy density, power density and safety requirements specified by NASA for future exploration missions. Building upon our Phase I feasibility study, we propose to implement an advanced cathode material in practical Li-ion batteries. The… more
Abstract:The use of high performance lubricating grease and transmission oil in the Armys ground and airborne vehicles can (i) enhance the performance and life of these systems, particularly in hot climates, (ii) reduce the heat signature, and (iii) help reduce the weight of thermal control systems, thereby… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is based on a recent discovery that tumors can bioconvert non-absorbing small metal nanoparticles into intense infrared (IR) absorbers. In preliminary tests, non-IR absorbing 15 nm gold nanoparticles wereimmunotargeted to human tumors in mice which… more
Abstract:This DOE SBIR/STTR program will result in the commercialization of a low-cost anostructured composite thermoelectric device.

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
