Available Technologies by Category
Equipment-Free Quantification in Point-of-Care Diagnostic Assays	Field-deployable robustness: uses reference reactions to accurately measure biomarker levels without expensive or cumbersome equipment Lower cost: quantification does not require expensive technology	7992
Expandable Back Drive–Resistant Wedge Improves Payload Support and Security in Satellite and Other Limited-Access Applications	This expandable wedge designed to resist back drive creates a more predictable load path for limited-access payloads, such as small satellite installations. The design reduces the likelihood of payload damage caused by sudden shock loading that can occur due to the higher stresses of cantilevered loads. Two offset, spring-activated pawls make the cartridge resistant to vibration by holding the wedge in place once proper contact has been established.	9002
Fabricating High-Power Solar Cells with a Novel Boron Emitter	Efficient: Demonstrates a competitive level of efficiency road map of over 24.2% Cost-effective: Offers a simplified approach for fabricating TOPCon solar cells while still maintaining their efficiency Sustainable: Improves upon current renewable energy solutions that provide alternatives to fossil fuel–based energy consumption	7991
Fabrication Approach to Impart Anti-Wetting Properties	Does not employ particles to control wetting Approach can be used to modify any material surface Cost-effective	7826
Fabrication of Slanted Electrodes in MEMS Devices	High Performance – slanted electrodes provide more capabilities and possibilities for MEMS devices Consolidated – reduces the need for large systems of MEMS Versatile – MEMS with slanted electrodes can be applied to many applications	7324
Facile Synthesis of Ultrathin Silver Nanowires	Produces Ag nanowires less than 20 nm in diameter, with high aspect ratios (over 1000), and in high yield (>85%) One pot, quick (< 35 min) synthetic process that is performed under ambient pressure Great mechanical flexibility and can be bent at acute angles without breaking	6791
Facilitating Ultrasound Penetration of the Skull for Diagnosis and Treatment	Portable: Designed to enable imaging of the brain via small, mobile ultrasound devices, which may offer greater convenience compared with MRI and CT machines Affordable: May be a lower cost modality compared with leading techniques, such as MRI, CT, or positron emission tomography (PET) Robust: Demonstrates energy transmission through the skull on par with that of an aqueous medium in preliminary testing	8340
Fast Evaporating Polymers and Copolymers Cross-linking	Incorporation of small molecules that are capable of amplification Residue reduction Waste elimination	7472, 7645
Fast, Effective Thrombolytic Agent for Arterial Blood Clots	The disulfide dimer of the amino acid cystine, has the potential to be a highly efficient thrombolytic agent for treating dangerous arterial blood clots. During in vitro testing DiNAC dissolved thrombi in as quickly as 90 seconds and reduced the diameter and surface area of certain thrombi by 50–95 percent. DiNAC has the potential to treat multiple conditions associated with arterial thrombus formation and to mitigate life-threatening side effects.	8007

FlashStream: A Multi-Tiered Storage Architecture Optimized for Video Streaming	Flashstream designed specifically for video streaming; whereas alternative storage systems are general purpose resulting in degraded video Prototype Flashstream, which optimizes caching, performed 2X better than its nearest competitor, Oracle Solaris ZFS. Directly accesses the SSD and RAM to achieve Quality-of-Service (QoS)-sensitive caching to better prioritize changes in video workloads	6264
Flexible Electrical Interconnects with Concave/Convex Platform	Co-fabrication of very complex interconnect structures for developing and testing different system topologies Improved system performance while increasing packaging density with little or no impact on the fabrication process steps used Complex shapes easily fabricated without compromising the mechanical strength or the electrical performance	6957
Flexible Power Generation with Negative Carbon Emissions	Energy security: This system enables the continued use of low-cost domestic fuel (i.e., natural gas) for electricity generation and increases the reliability of U.S. electricity production. Environmental protection: Flexible carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems can achieve high CO2 capture rates from flue gas. For example, with this system a power generator could shift the times it exports electricity to the grid, allowing the power generator and CCS plant to operate under steady-state conditions and with reduced emissions. Reduced costs: The cost of a net-zero carbon electricity system is lowered by providing dispatchable power to a high-VRE grid.	8834
