In this project Nalu Scientific will design, develop, and make commercially available the “AODS”, a fast measurement tool to readout high speed signals generated by particles in particle and high energy physics experiments. Detection of individual charged particles and photons and estimation of their properties, momentum, and direction of arrival is the basis for a wide range of scientific and ...

NSL recognizes the need within the accelerator community for robust and accurate beam halo monitoring detectors. Non-idealities in the accelerating equipment, uncertainties in current machine controls, and random noise driven fluctuations all combine to diminish the quality and focus of accelerated charged particle beams which results in degradation of the resulting physics, losses which decrease ...

The separator is a critical component of the battery that impacts both performance and safety. Separator technology is lagging in innovation comparison to cathode/anode chemistries. Current SOTA polyolefin (PO) separator technology is an antique utilizing traditional materials and processes. Moreover, investments in separator development (ARRA & DOE) have been focused on improving the manufacturin ...

NSL recognizes the need within the high energy science and inertial fusion to develop ultrafast diagnostics to assess plasma conditions for High Energy Density science and Inertial Fusion experiments. The current limitation of existing measurement tools is in the constraints of streak cameras. Therefore, there is interest in developing ultrafast pixel cameras by reading high speed photo detectors ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project represents a major paradigm shift in the methodology by which waterways can be maintained for optimum usage and water quality. Instead of the status quo in which water quality is only periodically tested and sediment buildups are only removed in massive quantities that can shock sensitive aquatic ecosystems, the system under development offer ...

Cementing is an integral part of well construction, providing the seal, protection, and support for the casing to maintain barriers that isolate the well.Wells can experience integrity failure due to structural instability in cemented regions due to subsidence and compaction caused by reservoir depletion over the lifetime of the well.Increased knowledge of cement placement, integrity, and conditio ...

The Bottom Feeder project is designed to prove out the research done in Phase I using a prototype platform. The prototype will be a full size version of the platform designed during Phase I. The Phase I platform was designed to work in two operational configurations, a highly efficient mode and a highly maneuverable mode, with the ability to switch between them while submerged. The platform is equ ...

Drop stitch reinforced textiles are a subset of 3D woven textiles that are well suited for flexible inflatable composite applications. These flexible composites provide a dimensionally-stable solution for inflatable structures, enabling creation of various deployable foldable shapes and cross-sections. Incorporating pile yarns between face reinforcement layers yields precise control over the infla ...

Navatek proposes to develop a fault prediction and detection solution that improves NASArsquo;s ability to reveal latent, unknown conditions while also improving its detection time and reducing the rate of false positive and negative detections of known conditions that would lead to failure of the life sustainment system. Our approach feeds historical and real-time sensor data to a digital twin of ...

nbsp;Nalu Scientific LLC (NSL) proposes to design and build the Single-photon-sensitive Waveform Enhanced and Lightweight Lidar (SWELL). This novel device will improve upon current Lidar technology by being low-cost, low-power, and highly compact. nbsp;This will be accomplished by leveraging NSLrsquo;s extremely high timing precision waveform sampling and digital integration technology. NSL has de ...
