Micro Scalable Thrusters for Adaptive Mission Profiles in Space
The Problem: As miniature ‘cubesat’ satellites have become more prominently used in scientific and commercial missions, so too has the need for deorbiting and reorienting propulsion systems for such cubesats increased. Electrospray thrusters (“ES Systems”) have emerged as a promising solution to this problem due to their compact...

Structured Glass-Ceramic Scintillators
The Problem: For portal imaging at MeV energies, electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) based on indirect flat panel detector (I-FPD) technology, as depicted below, have become standard. The highest-performing I-FPDs that are currently available have very low (~1%) detective quantum efficiency (DQE) performance at MeV energies. This limitation is...
