Novel 3d Photo-thermal Printing of Metals & Composites
The Problem While 3D printing of polymeric materials is prevalent, metals are indispensable for structural support, heat dissipation, and electrical conductivity. Extensive research to allow additive manufacturing (AM) of metals has resulted in a range of techniques, the most established of them are selective laser melting (SLM), electron beam melting (EBM), and metal inkjet printing.…
Read MoreA Novel Encapsulated Stabilized Vitamin A (Retinoic Acid) for Cosmetic Applications
The Problem All-trans retinoic acid, the most active form of vitamin A, is known to be highly beneficial in dermatology and other biomedical applications. However, all-trans retinoic acid is extremely sensitive when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, due to the conjugated double bonds that comprise its chemical structure. The Solution Our cutting-edge invention is a nano/micron-sized…
Read MoreLeading, Innovative Anti-Microbial Coating
The Problem The presence of microbial contamination of surfaces poses a serious problem from the point of view of health protection. There is a growing market demand to improve effectivity, safety, endurance, and cost of anti-microbial coating. The Solution We propose a novel bio-inspired nanocapsule that can firmly attach to any surface and kill encapsulated bacteria.…

The Solution Novel nanoscale sensors with ultra-low power consumption The Commercial Benefit Our innovative nanoscale sensors are easy to deploy, consume significantly less power, and is almost entirely disposable Market Potential The nanosensor market is expected to reach a CAGR of 79.83%…
Read MoreFUNCIONALIZED CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE FOR USE IN LEAD ACID BATTERY
The Problem Lead Acid batteries are successfully used for over a century. The relative low cost, almost complete recycling cycle and maturity are the bases for further improvements and mitigations of some disadvantages in order to establish a viable power source for the 21st century. Present SLI lead acid batteries suffer from short cycle life…
Read MoreEfficient and Economic Selective Bromide Ions Removal and Recovery of Water
The Problem Development of bromine compounds markets is strongly affected by new global environmental regulations that forbids the production of wastewater containing bromide that are discharged to surface water systems. Furthermore, high bromide in conjunction with high organic carbon (OC) is widely recognized to be the worst-case scenario for drinking water plants. Inability to achieve low…
Read MoreAn Interactive Gaze Contingent System for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Social Communication and Attention Deficits in Infants and Children
The Problem Over the last two decades a dramatic increase in the prevalence of socio-communicative disorders and attention disorders was reported. Today 1 of every 68 children is diagnosed with ASD and 1 of every 10 children is diagnosed with ADHD/ADD. There are four major problems that limit effective diagnosis and treatment: Diagnosis is typically enabled…
