Her goal during the program is to design a comprehensive additive manufacturing system tailored for the offsite construction of wall panels.Did you know that buildings consume twice as much energy as cars?Think about it… we spend about 95 percent of our time indoors with temperature-controlled rooms, LED lights, and electronics everywhere. Even beyond the consumers’
Natural fiber composites, the focus of ACT, have aesthetic appeal and can be sourced locally, unlike synthetic fibers, which require extensive energy to produce and are far more expensive.Vinit Chaudhary would describe himself as an “extreme extrovert.” He values interactions with people, building relationships, and learning about the lives and interests of others. It’s one
ThermoVerse and Expanding Frontiers have made strides in energy innovation by securing wins in Phase 2 of the Department of Energy’s American-Made Lab MATCH Prize, a competition designed to accelerate commercialization of national laboratory technologies.
As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $428 million for 14 projects to accelerate domestic clean energy manufacturing in 15 coal communities across the United States. The projects, led by small-and medium-businesses in communities with de-commissioned coal facilities, were selected by DOE’s Office
Plastic pollution negatively impacts human and animal health as well as the stability of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Also, petroleum-based plastics degrade slowly, breaking into smaller and smaller pieces that can travel long distances through water tables and food chains.The water table is the underground dividing line between the unsaturated zone — where spaces between
A research team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has devised a unique method to observe changes in materials at the atomic level. The technique opens new avenues for understanding and developing advanced materials for quantum computing and electronics.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) has announced nine Phase 2 winners for the Making Advanced Technology Commercialization Harmonized (Lab MATCH) prize.The three-phase Lab MATCH prize, funded by the Technology Commercialization Fund, asks entrepreneurs to create actionable plans for groundbreaking National Laboratory intellectual property (IP) to be brought to market.
Imagine embedding an enzyme inside a product so that it can biodegrade much faster than it normally would. Well, that is the focus for a company named Circular Biosciences LLC which has received a lot of love over the past few years from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK).
One of the first observations we made when we first met Kim Tutin of Captis Aire was that she was not a typical “Innovation Crossroads” Fellow. For starters, unlike many of the Fellows, she had spent more than 34 years at Georgia-Pacific (GP), working as a Chemist, Senior Project Manager, Technology Scout, Scientist, and Group
