Air quality data from top-of-the-line platforms, such as satellites, are difficult to obtain without a high- level of technical knowledge. For this reason, local air quality patterns and trends are often inaccessible to disadvantaged communities (DACs). Many technologies that will be used for deep decarbonization of industrial and power facilities have the added co-benefit of reducing non-CO2 poll ...

C53-22c-271119Meeting climate-stabilizing energy transition goals requires using hybrid-energy CO2 capture systems like Direct Air Capture (DAC) to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. Deploying this capacity will be difficult because it is complex and energy intensive infrastructure, and there must also be buy- in from communities living in locations best suited for it. The chall ...

In the United States, transportation is the leading source of emissions among major industries. This puts pressure on cities to optimize transportation infrastructures to meet decarbonization goals. City planners are required to ingest data from a variety of sources and balance a wide array of priorities ranging from mobility and equality to safety and sustainability. Making decisions for optimal ...

The company product portfolio includes Radiative Cooling Coatings, Radiative Heatsinks, and Thermal Compounds. Current product applications are focused on effective and sustainable cooling technologies in the computing and ...

Your crazy schedule is working on your blinking, heavy eyelids while you yawn again. And again.  That quick carb-heavy bite you grabbed for lunch is no help while you struggle to concentrate on the expensive equipment in front of you. You’re irritable from the caffeine you hoped would help. The only thing you can think about is the last good night’s sleep you had.  When was that anyway? You ...

Currently, defense-wide USG organizations can take weeks to compile critical reports, assembling information and data using the “cut and paste” method. These critical reports synthesize newly available information to assist in decision-making on both a po

Space plasma weather affects the functioning and survivability of orbital space assets. We will design and manufacture a MEMs scale, miniature electrostatic analyzer (ESA) for spaceborne applications that enables measurements of these space plasmas for di

SIFT proposes to build ARAKNI (Adversary Reasoning Assembling Knowledge Networks with Integrity) to innovate red-force behavior inference with integrity, aiming to infer hierarchical red-team intent and plans from raw, uncorrelated data and providing meaning-making interfaces for human interpretation and confidence assessment.  A central research challenge is to jointly (1) infer red-force plans ...

Modern, networked, cyber-physical systems pose a special challenge for  Cyber Vulnerability Assessment.  Communication protocols may be inherently vulnerable, may be implemented in an unsafe manner, or may be vulnerable to timing attacks, in which carefully-timed inputs can be used to disrupt system operations. Developed under AFRL's NOVA program, Adventium Labs’ VOLTA software automates the p ...
