C55-13a-270397To date, no integrated characterization and predictive modeling workflow has been proposed to optimize Geothermal Battery Energy Storage (GBES) systems in sedimentary formations. Of particular concern is the near wellbore formation integrity of GBES systems that are subject to Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) loading conditions: during injection, storage, and production c ...

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 ...

C56-10d-273616To meet the need for more sustainable manufacturing supply chains with reduced greenhouse gas emissions and to remove reliance on foreign supply chains, policymakers and researchers have begun exploring the possibilities of biomanufacturing commodity chemicals and materials. Acrylates are a primary monomeric component in paints, coatings, plastics, and super-absorbent polymer applica ...

High-quality, defect free, and consistent thickness Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) films are required to ensure maximum efficiency and longevity over the life of hydrogen fuel cells or electrolyzers utilizing this technology. The current technologies of PEM film Quality Assurance (QA) and defect detection rely on human inspection, which can be subjective and labor intensive, or measurement technol ...

Select microbes contain an enzyme that promotes the hydrolysis of urea (ureolysis). This triggers an increase in pH and carbonate concentrations that, in turn, can cause dissolved minerals to precipitate and form solids similar to limestone. Recent resear

AgilityHealth’s robust measurement and continuous improvement platform has enabled many Fortune 500 companies to foster a culture of innovation, and significantly improve business outcomes, as a result of implementing iterative project management frameworks and working to develop “agile” teams. Considering ongoing geopolitical instability, it is imperative that U.S. warfighters embrace prove ...

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop a pulsed source of high purity entangled photons suitable for use at the Air Force’s Starfire free space optical range to support advances in free space quantum networking hardware and protoco

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop fully packaged waveguide-based biphoton sources with high brightness and ultra-high, well characterized heralding efficiency. The specific goal of this phase I STTR is to establish the feasibi

  Mission success in contingency operations depends on communication and Beartooth Radio provides a solution when traditional comms are degraded; saving lives by reducing much-needed time battle-tracking friendlies and engaging the enemy when and where it

Resodyn has developed the novel Resonant Acoustic Continuous Crystallizer (RACC) concept which is highly suited to the recrystallization of energetic nitramines. This technology employs the ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) technology, which uses oscillatory
