Rapid 3D Printing of Aerogels with Bioinspired Surface Structures for Solar Steam Generation
Invention Description Freshwater scarcity is a critical global challenge. Desalination and water purification, particularly through solar steam generation, offer promising solutions by converting seawater and polluted water into freshwater using solar energy. Aerogels doped with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) enhance this process by improving water transport...

Cubic Boron Nitride Inserts for Iron Based Workpieces
Executive Summary Compacted graphite iron (CGI) has recently been gaining more attention due to its superior mechanical properties over the currently more popular flake graphite iron (FGI), aka gray cast iron. However, the poor machinability has prevented CGI to be used in a wider range of potential applications. Researchers at Michigan State University...
