Low Cost Alloys for Magnetocaloric Refrigeration
SBC: GENERAL ENGINEERING & RESEARCH, L.L.C. Topic: 12bReplacement of petroleum based vehicles with fuel cell electric vehicles operating on hydrogen produced from domestically available resources would dramatically decrease emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants as well as reduce dependence on oil from politically volatile regions of the world. One major inhibitor to a hydrogen society is the lack of infrastructure, which requires hydroge ...

Development of Production Strains of Chlamydomonas using Breeding Technologies
SBC: GLOBAL ALGAE INNOVATIONS, INC. Topic: 08cIn order to make large scale commercial production of microalgae based commodity food and fuel products, significant strides 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 thus far have been the primary strategy taken to effectively ...

Real-Time Distributed Quench Detection In High Temperature Superconductor Magnets
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: 20aNuclear fusion has great potential for supplying global energy needs with a clean, abundant energy source. Advanced superconducting magnets will be used to contain the plasma at the center of the reactor. To operate these magnets, new sensors are needed to monitor the superconductors in real-time to detect the signs that the superconductor may quench (lose superconducting properties), so that corr ...

Electrospray Deposition of Perovskite Solar Cells
SBC: NANOSONIC INC. Topic: 16aPerovskite-sensitized solar cells have demonstrated high conversion efficiencies however the stability of device is limited compared to common PV technologies. Moisture, UV irradiation, and high temperature triggered degradation limit their commercial viability; therefore, improved cell durability is necessary for perovskite solar cell market entry. In addition, the scale-up and optimization of th ...
