Available Technologies by Category
Water Waste Removal using Magnetic Nanoparticles	Fast - The adsorption process only takes 30 minutes, and the treatment process only requires one step (i.e. no filtration). Economical - The method of preparing the magnetized nanoparticles is simple and cost-effective. Furthermore, a given batch of nanoparticles can be reused more than 20 times, with a 90% recovery rate. Green - This does not introduce harmful chemicals, and enables the recovery and recycling of phosphorous.	6869
Chemical Etching of Semiconductive Substrate	Quick – wafers can be processed in parallel, as compared to only one at a time with the current approach Low cost – tooling for this approach is much less expensive than that required for the currently used method; simple, inexpensive chemical	6696
Cancer Diagnosis Using Nanotechnology	Can be used with a simple microscope More sensitive and cost-effective Non-toxic	3424
New Imaging Tool to Compare Healthy and Diseased Cells	Discrimination between healthy & diseased cell biology Personalized medicine – specific treatment for an individual Diagnosis of a disease prior to symptoms	6458
Quantitative Control with Ion Utilization	Superior control over ionization process in duration, frequency, and polarity High MS sensitivity with minimal sample consumption and native protein conformation conservation Patterned ion deposition onto both conductive and insulating surfaces	7336
Low-Temperature Solution for Growth P-Typed Zinc Oxide Nanowires	Can be used to create p- and n-type homojuntion ZnO nanowires. Nanowires as long as 340 µm were fabricated in a reproducible manner. Fabrication technique employs low temperature conditions in an aqueous environment.	6096
High-Resolution Pressure Sensors with Skin-Like Sensitivity	Extremely sensitive: This sensor array provides 1,000x higher sensitivity than other technologies. Improved performance: The technology is fast-responding and stable.	5895
CNT-Based Devices Using Thin-Film Technologies	Requires very low operating voltage Yields a compact field emitter package Avoids electrical shorts caused by emitter-gate contact	5806
3D Printed Auxetic Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering	Faster cell growth rate- decreases average cell age in the finished product and increases vitality Affordable and timely approach for regenerating tissues and replacing native tissues Continuous entry and circulation of nutrients results in less variability between cells	7335
