Selective Electrochemical Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Ore
SBC: WYONICS LLC Topic: C5604a1. Problem StatementCurrent industrial-scale rare earth element separation technologies are based on solvent extraction schemes which produce large amounts of undesirable chemical waste, including the loss of volatile organic solvents and reagents employed in the treatment of feed streams. These concerns have severely limited the development of U.S.-based rare earth element separation facilities. ...

A Robotic Inspection and Assembly Workcell for SRF Cavities
SBC: Square One Systems Design, Inc. Topic: C5430bThe production of high-Q superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities involves a complex chain of fabrication and inspection operations. Currently, much of this demanding work is performed manually within the tightly controlled environment of a production cleanroom. However, as the design precision and cleanliness requirements of modern SRF cavities have increased, this “human factor” has em ...

Development of robust fully autonomous machine learning-based cloud processing for Infrared Cloud Imagers
SBC: NWB SENSORS INC Topic: C5326bCloud cover is an important but poorly characterized component of current climate models. In particular, there is a need to detect and quantify cloud cover in a physically meaningful manner. This need has led to the development of infrared cloud imagers. This system uses long-wave infrared cameras to observe the thermal emission from the clouds and produces a measurement of spatially distributed c ...

An Instrumental Platform for Identifying, Collecting, and Analyzing Particles with Micron and Submicron Dimensions
SBC: WYONICS LLC Topic: C5206c1. Problem Statement Many technological fields would benefit greatly from an instrumental platform capable manipulating particles with µm- to nm-scale dimensions in a non-destructive, non-contaminating manner. A prime example is the field of nuclear forensics, where the elemental/isotopic analysis of individual µm-scale particles of actinide-containing materials is critical to ongoing nuclear no ...

Commercial Production of Low-Loss Quantum Frequency Conversion and Electro-Optical Modulation Devices Enabled by Wafer-Level Processing of Reverse-Proton-Exchange Lithium Niobate Waveguides
SBC: ADVR, INC. Topic: C5106aQuantum optical networks will require all optical signal processing that is enabled by lithium niobate-based components. While many of these components are commercially available, they are not optimized for the ultra-low optical losses required for quantum applications. This program will develop refined processing techniques to fabricate ultra-low loss lithium niobate- based components, initially ...
