A Microfluidic Ice Nucleating Particle Counter for Continuous Measurements from Small Aerial Platforms
SBC: Handix Scientific Inc. Topic: 23aQuantifying atmospheric aerosol, clouds and precipitation processes are critical needs for understanding and interpreting Earth’s changing energy budget, is a DOE objective, and is of broader benefit to the public. Specifically, the formation of ice in the atmosphere depends on the nature and abundance of ice nucleating particles, and has major implications for precipitation and cloud interactio ...

A Microfluidic Biosensor Platform for Real-Time Water Monitoring
SBC: QUANTITATIVE BIOSCIENCES, INC. Topic: 22bAccess to clean, reliable water supplies is critical to our quality of life and our economy, yet across the country thousands of hazardous waste sites are so heavily contaminated that the underlying groundwater doesn’t meet drinking water standards. Measuring contamination in the environment is critical to human health and to the DOE Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program’s goal t ...

Ultra-High Frame-Rate Pixelated Direct Electron STEM Detector
SBC: DIRECT ELECTRON, L.P. Topic: 24aMulti-color electron microscopy (EM) is a powerful new technique for studying biological ultrastructure with selective lanthanide-ion tagging of specific components of interest. The technique is analogous to multi-color fluorescence microscopy, but at about 100× higher magnification. However, the current method for acquiring multi-color EM data based on energy-filtered TEM (EFTEM) requires high-p ...

Portable Nanowire Platform for Quasi Real-Time and Ultrasensitive Detection of Microbes
SBC: INNOSENSE CORPORATION Topic: 19aRapid, simple and inexpensive molecular on-site diagnostics for the detection of classes of microbes are essential for the bioremediation community. The sophisticated techniques currently used for detection of microbial activity in submerged soils and aquatic sediments can be labor intensive and technically difficult. In addition, the expense of these approaches can discourage the series of measur ...

Development of a Low Noise Optical Interrogator for Interferometric Sensing Technologies
SBC: PAULSSON, INC. Topic: 17bElectronic geophones currently used in the oil and gas industry cannot meet the ever-more demanding requirements for robust, high-temperature capabilities and abilities to record the broad-band seismic data needed for high-resolution imaging. Electronic geophones are not capable of recording the low-magnitude and high-frequency signals that are being produced by hydraulic fracturing, water and CO2 ...
