- Resorbable, patient-specific heart valves offer great flexibility for treating a wider range of conditions and patients than traditionally manufactured heart valves.
- Customizable valves potentially decrease complications due to poor fit and the need for reinterventions.
- Selecting materials for optimal mechanical properties, thermodynamic properties, chemical properties, and surface chemistry and morphology reduces mismatch between device and tissue, potentially improving performance and patient outcomes.

- Customizable membrane structure and surface properties provide selective removal of contaminants of emerging concerns (CEC) and recovery of valuable components.
- An enlarged membrane surface area, combined with a gutter effect from the interlayer, results in nearly double the water permeability of current filtration membranes.
- Achieves high-performance recovery of essential nutrients/fertilizers that are free of CECs.

- Earlier detection: Identifying the viral components themselves—rather than the body’s reaction to the viral presence (i.e., antibodies)—potentially improves early detection in asymptomatic subjects.
- Simpler process: Use of minimal reagents and fewer preparatory steps is designed to enable more efficient and facile sample preparation. Avoidance of “wash steps” aims to minimize target loss.
- Fewer disruptions: Avoiding the use of high-demand supplies (e.g., swabs) and reagents potentially reduces supply-chain and contamination issues.

- The absence of moving parts and low vapor pressure of the liquid result in enhanced reliability and minimum power consumption.
- The near-zero vapor pressure of the liquid metal reduces leaks and minimizes the pressure difference between the loop and the external environment, which reduces the mass of the pipes and enables the use of non-metallic lightweight fluid handling materials.
- With thermal conductivity values two orders of magnitude above standard refrigerants, the volume and mass of heat exchangers are reduced proportionally.

- Customizable: The combined signal may be applied to a standard low-pass, band pass, or high-pass optical filter. The filter can be implemented with any number of poles for a maximum defined-slope, and the choice of pass type may be made according to the desired slope direction.
- Variable: By moving the optical carrier up and down in frequency through the transition band, the slope of the RF signal can be continuously varied.
- Versatile: The technology can be used as is or it can augment existing RF lab equipment.
