— Background
PET scanners are valued for their ability to provide whole-body functional and anatomic information, important in the diagnoses and management of metabolic conditions. However, there is currently a need in the market for a smaller imaging system that can be used for point-of-care applica…

— Background
Material morphology and composition are critical for production of Li+ ion battery cathodes, and there is a need for improved synthesis methods that yield high quality materials through cost effective, green, scalable processes. Further, there is often a need to dope materials during syn…

— The invention is a new process for fabricating nano-structured metal-oxide and other films. The films can harvest solar energy in the form of light and convert it to a more usable form (i.e: electricity or hydrogen gas). The films produced by this process have a unique morphology that grants them a …
