There is a military and industry need for easy-to-use, versatile alloys for metals additive manufacturing (3D printing) that print consistently regardless of the specific process or machine and without requiring in-depth metallurgical or manufacturing knowledge. Such capability is critical for soldiers to be able to make needed items on demand in the theater of war. In addition, the alloy will be ...

TrueNano, Inc. will in collaboration with the University of Colorado and industry partners, produce a novel single wafer, high throughput, cold wall Hot Filament CVD (HF-CVD) reactor prototype for the growth of high-quality silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial layers, suitable for the next generation of power electronic devices and systems. This includes the design and simulation of the reactor chamber ...

Adaptive optics (AO) can compensate for the aberrating effects of atmospheric turbulence which degrade the performance of high energy laser (HEL) weapon systems and, as such, is an enabling technology for effective deployment of HEL weapon systems. A key component in an HEL AO system is the deformable mirror (DM). However, mechanical constraints in currently available DMs limits AO system performa ...
