The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to develop and commercialize a fast charging battery which offers better safety with long cycle life compared to today’s lithium (Li)-ion batteries. In traditional batteries, fast charging can cause the battery to become dangerously hot (more than 60°C/140°F) and reduce the life of the battery to one or two charges. The proposed batter ...

percapacitors provide energy densities comparable to thin film batteries, high power densities, ultrafast recharge, and long cycle lives for applications requiring high duty cycle and pulse power output.  Micro-supercapacitors (MSC) are the most promising energy storage technology for integration with energy harvesting, via micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and microelectronics integrated ...

The broader impact / commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to build a condition assessment and monitoring platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) for intelligent decision support to expedite diagnosis and facilitate personalized therapy solutions. Currently, patient history data is obtained verbally, and poor health communication bet ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project lies in the discovery and development of first-in-class therapeutics as an anti-viral treatment of COVID-19 viral infection. Within the proposed studies, cyclic peptide-based novel, effective anti-viral drug candidates will be identified. Compared to small molecule-based drugs, peptides will ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will be the development of a safe and effective treatment for a devastating form of pediatric epilepsy called Dravet syndrome. Dravet syndrome is an inherited disease that is caused by mutations in an ion channel called SCN1A. Gene therapy is an approach that involves replacement of mutated DN ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the development of new approaches for remote assessment of respiratory function during pandemics. Current pulmonary assessment methods require in-clinic visits and they induce coughing and droplet formation, thereby increasing the risk of disease spread. To reduce transmission risk these assessments have been l ...

The broader impact of this Small Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase I project opens pathways to large-scale domestic manufacturing of low-cost energy infrastructure needed to facilitate the clean energy transition in the United States. The United States has a vast offshore wind energy resource that is nearly four times the nation's current electricity use. This enormous potential presents a ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) Phase I project is to help women undergoing menopause. Most women undergo menopause, a complex biobehavioral life stage that spans one-third of their life, frequently accompanied by a complex array of symptoms affecting their health, quality of life, relationships, and productivity. The most common an ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer Research Phase I project is to use waste to produce clean, green energy. The proposed technology diverts waste material from landfills while sequestering carbon and can be used in many other industries such as food waste, forestry biomass and disaster relief. For example, wildfires are becoming an annual threat that ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve measurement science. Currently, special low-pressure chambers known as "vapor cells" are made by hand in a select number of precision glassblowing shops and suffer from poor dimensional reproducibility, low production capacity, irregular sizes, and variable vapor composition lead ...
