The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will be to fundamentally accelerate the pace of data science. New solutions that alleviate or bypass the bottlenecks inherent in existing data analytics technologies are required to unlock the value contained in “big data” and bring greater benefits to research, business, and society at large.The potential ben ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase I project seeks to enable cost effective, compact, and higher performing integrated circuits for space applications. Space electronics have lagged the commercial state-of-the-art by over a decade.The lack of high performing, cost effective packaging solutions further increases this gap. Traditi ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project improves mining and geotechnical drilling activities by eliminating handling of bulky samples.Core drilling consumes about 10,000 gallons of water per day, often in water-deficient areas. The proposed new approach negates the need for water in the drilling process, thereby mitigating the risk of pollution to public and wildlife drinking water ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the development of lightweight, thermally safe batteries with high energy densities that can be charged fast, last a long time, are composed of environmentally benign materials, and can store energy at a low cost. Such batteries would enable the large-scale penetration of long-range electri ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to demonstrate the viability of a semiconductor laser technology based on laterally confined photonic crystal cavities.

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to provide a novel and cost-effective technology to remove NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) from the wastewater produced by fracking. The proposed research is of fundamental and practical significance to the area of produced water treatment. The proposed approach seeks to re ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is to enable improved safety for next generation lithium-ion batteries, used in many applications, such as electronics, electric vehicles, and other specialty applications.With a projected growth over 10% annually over the next decade, the lithium-ion cathode material market is expected to ex ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is a novel drug delivery system composed of peptide-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) for targeted and sustained release of therapeutic peptides to the intestine. The drug resulting from this project will be first-in-class comprehensive treatment for hyperoxaluria (high urine oxalate), hyperoxalemia ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II project is to improve energy efficiency of power electronics systems through the use of Gallium Nitride (GaN). Power electronics are ubiquitous in today’s society – used inside the electric vehicles, laptops, and data centers. A high-power GaN half-bridge (HPGHB) integrated circuit, a generic building b ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project addresses the current lack of useful, realistic feedback in commercially available bionic prosthetic devices. There are currently no prosthetic devices available to amputees that provide closed loop control through sensory feedback. Without this type feedback, prosthesis users tend to avoid m ...
