The last several decades have seen astonishing technological progress in fields like personal computing and earthly atmospheric weather prediction, but space weather prediction today is no more reliable than it was in the 1960s. The lack of advancement in the space weather anomaly prediction is glaring, and the space domain holds tremendous transformational potential for future global connectivity ...

Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDCs) are a subject of great interest in the field of propulsion and power generation for their theoretical pressure gain and increased thermal efficiency and power density over conventional deflagrative combustors. This allows smaller, lighter and more efficient airbreathing and rocket propulsion systems, as well as conventional gas turbine based civil power gene ...

Tessellated Inc and the University of Notre Dame have produced composite thin films with the highest reported tensile strengths. These films have been produced using roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques that can be adapted to current manufacturing lines. Small amounts of fillers can be added to an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene matrix to produce thin films with high tensile strength. Th ...

Candent Technologies is proposing to continue the development of its Phase I design of an advanced technology, electric driven air compressor for an aircraft Active Flow Control (AFC) system.  The Candent Team, utilizing its extensive turbomachinery design and development experience, along with their Academic partner, who used their expertise and state of the art technology to design the electric ...
