Wide Angle Neutron Spin Echo Device
SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: 12aThe Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) method has provided unique information about the dynamics of soft materials, including confirmation of the de Gennes model of polymer reptation, and quantitative measurement of the bending constants of various membranes. In almost all cases these measurements have been made at small neutron scattering angles, where structural correlations with length scales between 10 n ...

Development of a breeding system in Chlamydomonas moewusii for improved production strains
SBC: GLOBAL ALGAE INNOVATIONS, INC. Topic: 08cFor economically viable large-scale production of microalgae based food and biofuel to become a reality, significant improvements in algal productivity need to be achieved. With current regulatory guidelines, large scale outdoor cultivation of microalgae for these products restricts the use of transgenic algal strains, which in the laboratory, have thus far been the primary strategy taken to effec ...

Plasma Catalyst Coupling for Improved Conversion of Methane to Liquids
SBC: HIFUNDA LLC Topic: 22cThe discovery of large shale gas reserves in recent years has resulted in the reduction of natural gas price and a need to develop new applications for the available resource. Upgrading shale gas to liquid fuels which are more easily transportable and have greater economic value can result in significant benefits to the US. Coupled with this challenging problem the DOE has a goal of further develo ...
