To achieve a quantum step in data center efficiency, new thermal management technologies must be coupled to the devices they cool. This proposal seeks to build on recent observations that microconvective cooling not only functions as a high-performance chip cooling technique with the potential for a low PUE, but is also capable of increasing the intrinsic efficiency of the silicon processors them ...

This proposal seeks the development of analog AI training processors with more than 240× performance to push the boundaries of AI without spending billions of dollars to train each new advanced model, or worse, burning down the entire planet. The building blocks of these architectures will be the novel class of nanoprotonic devices with ideal characteristics we will develop here, such that the re ...

Imperia Batteries, a division of Physical Sciences Inc., proposes to develop and prototype a modular, safe, high energy density Jetboot battery system by combining next generation electrode and separator technologies. The modular design will allow for a single or dual module battery pack providing a lightweight and high capacity battery solution, respectively. Imperia’s battery improves safety b ...

Critical need for a non-toxic, regenerative carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber material with enhanced scrubbing capacities and safety for rebreather applications. The current state-of-the-art (SOA) scrubber material for rebreather is soda lime. Soda lime is highly toxic, has low CO2 capacity, and is non-regenerative requiring an entire logistics chain. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) is developing a novel ...

The modern information environment (IE) is growing more complex and dynamic. Information technology advances enable adversaries to access and influence audiences globally with increasingly sophisticated tools and at an unprecedented scale. To understand the threat landscape and to respond effectively, there is a need to automatically detect, track, and differentiate the evolution of information na ...

Hands/Off Tactical Mobile Intelligent Communications (HOT MIC) is an edge/deployed AI solution for voice command and control (VC2) of sUAS and other potential unmanned systems. Today’s SOCOM operator needs to easily enlist new capabilities to the fight such as small Unmanned Air Systems (sUAS) while reducing task saturation and keeping focus down range. An intuitive, robust, hands/free voice use ...
