Conventional photovoltaic technologies have been able to achieve limited market penetration due to high first costs and reductions in efficiency caused by the high operating temperatures at which the panels are typically employed. Traditional solar panels are also configured as mounted equipment, separate from the building envelop elements. The use of unaugmented PV power generating technology l ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 project will lead to the development of a simple, cost effective technology which can recover helium from gas reservoirs containing helium concentrations too low to permit economic recovery at present. This will enable helium recovery from fields currently producing natural gas but considered uneconomical for the recovery of the contained heli ...

The unique properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) including exceptional mechanical strength, electron mobility and nanoscale dimensions make them excellent candidates for use in wide-ranging applications including polymer additives, transparent conductive films, nanoelectronics, sensing, nano-optics, transistors, filters, hydrogen storage, drug and gene delivery, oscillators, field e ...
