The STRATFI Earth 616 project will create a proof of concept secure Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based environment to provide near real-time visibility and traceability, along with associated securing of digital assets, for parts and data from an i

The goal for this Phase I research is to develop a stretchable dielectric ink that can be used for flexible applications. Printing electronics is a new and quickly growing alternative to traditionally manufactured electronics. Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) is a novel approach to electronic circuit manufacturing that aims to combine the best of printed and conventional electronics. FHE devices ...

Hebbia, Inc. (“Hebbia” or “Hebbia AI”) proposes to develop an innovative technology, ACUMEN (Automated Consolidation of USAF Milestone Essential Notes), to address the significant challenge facing the Air Force in managing acquisition milestone documentat

Energy storage is required to address variability in supply and demand of electricity, while transitioning to a renewable-intensive grid, electrifying transportation, and electrifying heat. Buildings have high energy demands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). Thermal Energy Storage (TES) can store off-peak/renewable-intensive for later use in heating or cooling the host buildin ...

The development of next-generation materials for Li-ion batteries is a highly significant problem and opportunity with far-reaching implications for the future of energy storage and electrification. Graphite is a known suboptimal anode material due to low charge rates and limited specific capacity. While replacing graphite with silicon increases the specific energy density (Wh/kg) by a maximum of ...

Problem Statement and Approach: Sensitive detection of electromagnetic (EM) fields at microwave frequencies underlies crucially many high-energy physics (HEP) experiments that rely on the measurement of weak couplings between ultralight dark matter and electromagnetism. These HEP experiments require the sensing of EM fields down to single photon level, which, unfortunately, remains a significant c ...

The cost of capturing CO2 from coal-derived flue gas using existing technologies, like absorption far exceeds the DOE's target of around $30-40/ton of CO2. To overcome this hurdle, a novel transformative block copolymer membrane has been developed, which contains microporosity using rubbery polar polymers with nanoparticles. This membrane has the potential to achieve exceptional CO2 permeance (450 ...

With an increase in widespread hacking and for-profit data sharing of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), organizations worldwide are concerned about what happens with their sensitive data and how to safely secure it.  The issue of leaked PII large

Air Force bases face numerous physical security and other challenges that require immediate response and constant vigilance.  Situational awareness and the ability to respond are critical to Airmen and others’ safety and security.  In the United States, m

The 194 MSG identified a mission need and opportunity to enable Airmen’s productivity for providing base security, logistics, communications, and engineering with specialized equipment to support their workflows, checklists, and taskings. 194 MSG is in a
