The smart contact lens application presents several unique challenges to successfully produce functional circuitry on the contact lens surface.  These complex-shaped, flexible substrates limit the use of traditional, mature electronic manufacturing approa

Goodman Technologies (GT) patented and patent pending additively manufactured (AM) nanocomposite materials, registered trademark GTNANO®, are dual-use and include AM silicon carbide mirrors and telescopes, and  advanced radiation shielding that employs na

Geothermal is a critical, yet underutilized, resource for our nation’s climate and energy goals. Geothermal, like other new technologies whose socioeconomic impacts are not fully understood, may cause disproportionately high adverse effects on disadvantaged communities. This is especially true if the process does not fully account for their socioeconomic and cultural interests and concerns. Unfo ...

The TACFI funding will allow the SPAICE tool to be a part of future iterations of the STP Operations center to include a forthcoming cloud deployment. In support of this cloud deployment RS21 will gather and document requirements and investigate additiona

A major barrier to advances of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing and largescale DOE facilities is incomplete and inaccurate data sets. The proposed distributed framework offers a versatile, high-performance, and extremely scalable data consolidation platform, adept at handling vast amounts of data. The "data mesh" or "distributed data lake" architecture allows ...

Solstar’s Critical Data Relay Spacecraft Operational Status (CritDR-SOS), aka Deke, unit integrates with a spacecraft’s Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) system to provide first-ever bi-directional, continuous, internet-based monitoring of the spa

MCT Industries, Inc. and our DAF User, the 509 Civil Engineering Squadron EOD Flight at Whiteman AFB, have cohesively performed the Phase I due diligence feasibility study of the innovative MCT Custom Platform Nuclear Response Trailer (NRT), a tailored, r

C56-02a-272165Source-based (Cs-137 or Co-60) calibration systems produce gamma radiation fields of known energy and intensity for calibration of radiation monitoring equipment, dosimeters, and industrial/medical radiation technologies to ensure their accurate operation. These calibration systems are essential for the safe and correct use of such devices. However, the use of high- activity radioiso ...

Rare Earth Elements are critical metals that have significant military and civilian uses, including laser targeting systems, electronics, magnets, medical imaging, fiber optics, batteries, and many other applications. These metals are exceptionally difficult to separate from each other because of their chemical similarities. This project will develop faster and less expensive methods to separate t ...

Statement of the problem or situation that is being addressed:Nuclear fission generates volatile iodine isotopes which must be captured for safe disposal. This project will develop improved sorbents, which include reusable sorbents and sorbents that comply with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, for the capture and disposal of iodine-129.General statement of how this problem is being addr ...
