Fast and precise electrostatic beam position control for an atomic-resolution STEM
SBC: Nion Co Topic: C5510bC55-10b-270389Recent developments in electron microscopes, especially improved optics and new detectors have led to new types of experiments in the fields of physics, quantum information, and biology. With all the recent progress, one key system of the microscope, the scanning system, has fallen behind. The proposed development will introduce a fundamentally new type of scanning system that replac ...

Switched-Field Surface NMR for Enhanced Detection and Resolution of Shallow Groundwater
SBC: VISTA CLARA INC. Topic: C4724cC47-24c-271412This proposal addresses the challenge of non-invasively, economically, and accurately detect and imaging groundwater and hydrogeological properties in the top 30m of the subsurface. We will apply imaging methodologies at the core of medical MRI to efficiently map shallow groundwater and hydrogeologic properties at improved resolution. Conventional surface NMR has been proven as a pow ...

FeaturePrint: Computer Vision for Pebble Bed Reactors' Material, Control, and Accounting
SBC: ALITHEON INC Topic: C5640nC56-40n-272712The limiting factor in previous imaging approaches to material, control, and accounting of pebbles going through pebble bed reactors was the ability to reliably identify hundreds of thousands of unique pebbles in a short time. Moreover, the secondary approach of identifying types of pebbles does support fresh fuel loading by distinguishing fuel pebbles from moderator pebbles, but sti ...

Dual functional reactor for direct air capture of carbon dioxide and production of oxygenated hydrocarbons in one pot
SBC: MOLECULE WORKS INCORPORATED Topic: C5625bThere are a few major challenges associated with direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide, including 1) lowering capture costs and 2) disposal or usage of the captured carbon dioxide. On the other hand, converting carbon dioxide with renewable electricity into useful products and/or fuels has been hindered by the problems of 1) high costs and 2) availability of carbon dioxide. A new technology - ...

A resilient PV solar plant with enhanced grid reliability services and integrated multi-MW EV-charging infrastructure for 2x faster and 50% lower cost implementation
SBC: StoredgeAI LLC Topic: C5615fWe propose a fundamentally new balance of plant (BOP) architecture for a PV solar system integrated with battery storage and heavy-duty EV fleet charging infrastructure. These PV solar systems are 1- 10s of MW in size, with a 2 to 4-hour battery and several MWs of EV charging electronics. Usually known as microgrids, these integrated PV systems connect to the bulk power systems, providing resilien ...

Cost Effective Real-Time Flare Gas Characterization for Optimizing Methane Destruction Efficiency
SBC: NARION CORPORATION Topic: C5627aThe oil and gas industry relies on flaring to reduce the venting of methane into our atmosphere. Currently, without a cost-effective method to capture and utilize these gases, flaring is the most environmentally friendly method for abating greenhouse gasses. When operated properly, flares are assumed to be 98% efficient at burning methane. Recent studies have shown that in reality, flaring operati ...
