Galois and Dan Boneh of Stanford offer Talaria, a research project and prototype architecture of a secure, decentralized messaging and transaction platform. Talaria addresses four concerns for such platforms: resilience, scalability, security, and transparency.Talaria uses a decentralized, redundant, and distributed server-side architecture to provide resiliency. Talaria provides scalability by us ...

The objective of the proposed project is to develop designs for manufacturable all-metal terminal hot-electron transistors (AMTHETs) that will enable 1W 10W THz RF amplifiers and oscillators. The proposed work will focus on quantum-mechanical modeling to characterize the performance of AMTHETs for amplification and oscillation at THz frequencies. In parallel with the modeling effort, likely manuf ...

To meet the U.S. military need for a near-single-photon low-light-level passive imager, a large-format, near-infrared (NIR)-sensitive silicon single-photon avalanche-diode (SPAD) digital imager capable of high-dynamic range, high detection efficiency, and low dark counts will be developed. Toward this end, in Phase I, a 256 x 256-element SPAD imager will be integrated into a camera, characterized, ...

This effort involves the unique layered, or material gradient, approach to the development of an all-composite cryogenic fuel tank suitable for the containment of liquid oxygen. New epoxy and urethane resins systems are developed for performing well in a high strain and cryogenic environment. The new matrix resins are combined with filament wound carbon fiber layers, woven fabrics, woven preforms ...

We propose to create transformative technologies to overcome several CRISPR-wide challenges that will broadly enable scalable, multiplexable gene editing & gene regulation with minimal off-target activity. Our technical solutions combine computational de...

Voice phishing (vishing) has become a serious threat. Attackers pose as trusted callers using impersonation, voice mimicry, speech synthesis, voice conversion technologies, and many other techniques. Once victims believes they are speaking with a t...

This work will investigate Explainable Artificial Intelligence to support employment recommendation systems for veterans. Current job recommendation systems for veterans rely on boolean key-word search methods and do not employ state of the art machine l...

Lithium alloys have long been used as anode materials in thermal batteries due to their high power capability and high temperature stability. Due to their low electromotive force (emf) versus lithium, typically 0.1 to 1.0 V, lithium alloys traditionally...

We propose a small study to demonstrate the application of Semantic Web, linked data, and knowledge representation techniques in general to create a platform for collaborative knowledge capture for the ingest, organization, utilization, and maintenance o...

The objective of this effort is the design of a new TWT transmitter power supply incorporating a modern, elegant and innovative high efficiency/performance High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) architecture and design. The baseline architecture and circuit de...
