This STTR Phase I project will remove the most critical roadblock to making long-lasting batteries from safe and economical zinc and air. Zinc is plentiful in the U.S. and zinc-air batteries have the potential to hold more than five times the energy of current lithium-ion batteries, but a key challenge for making rechargeable zinc-air batteries is that the zinc inside the battery naturally forms s ...

This SBIR Phase I project aims to further the development a novel nanoparticle-based synthetic platelet technology for the treatment of internal, non-compressible hemorrhage after traumatic injury. Trauma is the leading killer of people aged 1-46, and uncontrollable hemorrhage after injury is the cause of 35% of pre-hospital trauma deaths and 90% of military combat casualties. This is because ther ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a breakthrough power source for small electronic devices that will move the reality of smart cities and smart rural areas closer to the vision. The center piece of the innovation is the wide bandgap semiconductor betavoltaic power source, essentially an innovative nuclear-based micro-batter ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will result in the development of smart, self-healing nanocapsules as anticorrosive pigment additive for commercialization of sustainable, economical and metal free acrylic, epoxy or polyurethane based anticorrosive coatings. The nanocapsule additive based anticorrosive coating will meet and exceed the performance of solvent and heavy metals ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is aimed at developing a nondestructive testing device based on Magnetic Pressure Sensor Technology. The innovation can detect steel mass and corrosion in bridges, tendons, infrastructures, and pipes. The technical level of this innovation is ?early stage?, where the scientific principles have been identified and feasibility will be establish ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to significantly increase the efficiency and reduce operating costs for water produced by membrane-based desalination. Water scarcity is an increasingly important global-scale issue that has significant negative impacts on health, security and economies. Recent forecasts show a dramatic increase in ...

This SBIR phase I project will develop new reagents to enable cell separation and analysis. Cell separation is a $3.9 billion/yr market with applications in medicine, pharmaceutical, and biological research industries. However, many current schemes perform cell separation and analysis in separate steps. A single reagent that could perform both functions would save time and money, enhancing these i ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to provide clinical decision support software that assists inpatient providers in improving care for preventable acute inpatient harms, and thereby reduce mortality and morbidity. This grant develops a cloud-based platform that applies machine learning (ML) algorithms in real-time on data e ...

Army mobile missile launchers are vulnerable to bullet and fragment impacts as current missile canisters are made of lightweight metals or composites that offer little ballistic protection. American Technical Coatings, Inc. (DBA ATC Materials, Inc.) of Westlake, OH is a leader in insensitive munitions armor technologies and has previously commercialized and fielded systems for IM protection. ATC†...

CRG proposes to leverage its partnerships, advanced aerospace system design capabilities, and unique manufacturing technologies to design, build and demonstrate a flying missile rail along with the high-rate production technologies required to meet DARPAs objectives of 500 units per month, within one month.CRG will focus on high-rate manufacturing technologies currently in use within the automotiv ...
