NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYFAO estimates annual global food loss and waste at roughly 30% of cereal crops, 40 to 50% of root crops, fruits and vegetables and 20percent of oilseed crops with an estimated value for total food loss at US$1-trillion. Many factors along the value chain from farm fields to the family table contribute to food loss and waste however one unseen factor goes unnoticed, the plant h ...

In order for America to remain competitive in the world market in agriculture production and processing it must continue to innovate and create technologies that decrease the cost of food production. If America can do so, it maintains the ability to produce high quality products. Sorting and grading is an expensive and time consuming part of agriculture production and decreasing its cost through t ...

Magneto-Thermal MRAM uses both heat and magnetic field (current)to overcome thermal instabilities of very small memory cells. Self-generated heat in the cell raises the temperature of magnetic material in the cell above the exchange ordering temperature of the magnetic material (either ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic). Magneto-Thermal MRAM is compatible with advances in photolithography down t ...
