While quantum sensors based on engineered defects in diamond are capable of providing navigation in GPS-denied environments, play a role of unprecedented metrology tools for screening of defects in next generation MRAM devices, and help to discover novel superconducting materials, the absence of commercial production of the core “quantum diamond” material to be used in these sensors hinders th ...

There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring across the entire the U.S. and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry is also contendin ...

There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring in the US Midwest, MidAtlantic and Northeast, and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats.

Cementing is an integral part of well construction, providing the seal, protection, and support for the casing to maintain barriers that isolate the well.Wells can experience integrity failure due to structural instability in cemented regions due to subsidence and compaction caused by reservoir depletion over the lifetime of the well.Increased knowledge of cement placement, integrity, and conditio ...

A pointed slender body at high angle of attack will generate two symmetric vortices resulting from the separation of flow on the leeward side of the body. At critical angles of attack, the vortex shedding becomes asymmetric due to micro-imperfections present at the nose of the body. This asymmetric vortex shedding can result inside forces that may exceed the control capability of the vehicle, an ...

In this Phase I SBIR, Oceanit will develop a novel, powerful, adaptable cyber defense capability to support autonomous Air Force weapons systems.

Bennett Advanced Research proposes to examine fundamental properties of adaptive materials for use with Additive Manufacturing technologies. The focus will be on developing a system for spacecraft Self Health Monitoring (SHM).

We address a key challenge in many military and commercial systems: the tracking of materials and/or documents, and the certification of their origin(watermarking). We use libraries of taggants composed of synthetic DNA, where: (i) the number of distinct taggants are scalable to the millions and more, (ii) the taggants are not easily detectable without certain secret information, but (iii) with t ...
