Technology Opportunities

Motion conversion in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) requires specially fabricated mechanisms that currently are not able to be mass produced but rather custom hand-made fabrication for each device is required. The technology presented is a novel dual-height design that is easier to ...

New metal-air batteries based on a silicon (Si) anode yield a capacity four times that of conventional Zn-air batteries. We have solved the low conductivity problem of Si by using highly doped and metalized silicon. The novelty in this method is the use of a semiconductor such as Si for ...

This invention proposes a method for the preparation of a single, porous curved tunable crystal of gold. The method consists of evaporation and annealing to result in the formation of liquid micro-droplets of Au-Ge. By changing the shape of the droplet the shape of the single crystal can be ...
