Compressed-sensing Ultrafast Photography (CUP)Gao, Liang ; Liang, Jinyang ; Wang, Lihong
T-014733
— Compressed-sensing ultrafast photography (CUP) is an ultrafast imaging technique that can capture non-repetitive, time-evolving events at up to 100 billion frames per second. Compared to existing ultrafast imaging methods, CUP has a prominent advantage in measuring an x, y, t (x, y, spatial coordina…
Controlling charge doping in 2D materialsBalgley, Jesse ; Henriksen, Erik
T-019602
— Technology Description Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a method to control charge doping in 2D materials like graphene. This method uses α-RuCl3 to create pn junctions at a smaller scale than silicon transistors. While α-RuCl3 efficiently removes el…
Real-time air and water quality monitoring with AI-based data analysis and low cost sensorsBiswas, Pratim ; Li, Jiayu
T-018523
— Technology Description Prof. Pratim Biswas and colleagues have developed an artificial intelligence platform to provide accurate, low-cost analysis of air and water quality by integrating data gathered from particulate matter (PM) sensors and other sources. This technology could be used to make th…
