The ability to rapidly detect, identify and monitor chemical agents remains a challenge of significant importance to the Armed Forces. Existing chemical sensing techniques have shortcomings that inhibit widespread implementation. To address this situation, Ryon Technologies is developing a portable instrument that is based on Rydberg Fingerprint Spectroscopy (RFS) in combination with mass spectrom ...

Yardney will design and develop a lightweight, safe, reliable, and cost-effective aircraft battery with improved thermal design and the use of active cooling techniques. As a novel part of the battery design, Yardney will investigate and implement high performance electrodes using three dimensional (3D) micro-porous current collectors, safer thin metal case cell design, a micro-channel heat pipe t ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one cause of death in the U.S. Left untreated, CVD can result in the occlusion of key arteries that can precipitate a major cardiac event. Clinicians routinely correct arterial blockages mechanically using a balloon expansion of the lesioned area and placement of a metallic stent to help keep the arteries open. However, the overstretc ...
