Miniaturized Pulse Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer

Background Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is an essential tool for detecting and analyzing radicals and substances with unpaired electrons, with applications spanning biomedical diagnostics, materials science, and chemical analysis. However, conventional EPR instruments are constrained by their bulky size, high cost, and substantial...

2026-121 Real-Time Battery Health Diagnostics Without Additional Hardware

Background Current battery management systems, such as those in electric vehicles, grid storage and consumer electronics, can only estimate bulk metrics like capacity and resistance, which miss key degradation mechanisms. While electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides detailed insight into battery health, it requires specialized hardware...

2025-059 - Sequential -based Excitation Shear Wave Elastography (SE-SWE)

Background: Ultrasound elastography, specifically shear wave elastography (SWE), is essential for non-invasive assessment of tissue stiffness, an important biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring diseases such as liver fibrosis, cancer, and ocular conditions. While conventional two-dimensional SWE provides valuable clinical insights, accurately characterizing...

2025-150 - Quantum Transduction via Generalized Continuous-Variable Teleportation: Boosting Performance of Low-Efficiency Transducers

Background Quantum transduction technologies are essential for linking quantum systems that operate at different frequencies and physical platforms. Leading quantum processors such as superconducting and spin qubits function in the microwave domain, while long-distance quantum communication relies on low-loss optical photons. Efficient conversion between...

2025-130 - The MOTIF Hand: A Robotic Hand for Multimodal Observations with Thermal, Inertial, and Force Sensors

Market Opportunity The market for dexterous robotic hands is rapidly expanding, fueled by increasing automation in factories, warehouses, laboratories, and hospitals. These advanced manipulators, which mimic human-like dexterity, are moving beyond simple tasks to tackle complex and dangerous challenges. The shift into unstructured, dynamic environments...

2024-156 - Efficient Chromatic-Number-Based Multiqubit Decoherence and Crosstalk Suppression for Quantum Computing

Background To unlock the commercial potential of quantum computing, companies must overcome the critical hardware bottlenecks of decoherence and crosstalk which currently limit the reliability of complex algorithms. Decoherence represents a rapid "leakage" of data caused by environmental interference, while crosstalk acts as digital noise...

2026-004: A Method for Quantifying Similarity Between Population Spiking Activities

Variance-weighted neural similarity analytics delivering noise-corrected, reproducible population spike comparisons. Abstract As neural recording systems have expanded in channel density and data complexity, reliably comparing population-level spike activity across trials, sessions, and subjects has remained a significant challenge. Traditional...

2024-126: High-Yield Hydrogen from Ethanol via Acetate Pathways

Background The use of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) for hydrogen storage and transport offers higher volumetric hydrogen densities than compressed gas and utilizes existing liquid fuel infrastructure. Previous attempts of ethanol dehydrogenation give only one equivalent of H2 and form undesirable side reactions. Technology Description This...
