Reprocessable Sorbents for Direct Air Capture of CO2
Background Negative emission technologies, including direct air capture (DAC), are a critical solution needed to reduce carbon emissions and lead to a net-zero scenario. DAC solutions are a viable solution that present many advantages, but generate increased demand for low-cost CO2 sorbents, due to greater amounts of material needed to effectively...

Polymer Materials with Pendent or Chain-End Groups for Catalyst-Free, Low-Temperature Depolymerization
Incorporates Thermolytically Labile Groups to Induce On-Demand Degradation Into Reusable Monomers These materials incorporate thermolytically labile groups into widely used glass-substitute polymers, allowing solvent and catalyst-free degradation of the polymer into a high-purity composition of its monomers. These materials can therefore be recycled...

Self-neutralizing air-breathing thruster and method of neutralization
An ion-engine is the cutting edge for atmospheric air-breathing engines. The technology depends on ionizing and neutralizing atmospheric air particles which create thrust. This unique possibility makes it an ideal choice for very-low-orbit satellites. Very- low-orbit satellite capabilities have benefits such as higher resolution for images, weight...

Non-Invasive Plasma Discharge Tube Device for Treating Brain Tumors
Treating brain tumors, like glioblastoma, is challenging. Current glioblastoma drugs, Rapamycin and Temozolomide (TMZ), generally only extend life for a matter of months, are not very effective in treating recurring tumors, and have significant clinical toxicity. A novel Plasma Discharge Tube (PDT) device has the potential to be more effective and less...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...

Cold atmospheric plasma-stimulated media for treating cancers
For successful cancer therapy, the most important aspect is selective eradication of cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cells and normal cells have different thresholds for tolerance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) before cell death (apoptosis) is induced. Previously, GW researchers invented a cold...
