Anisotropic fabric for thermal face mask
Face masks currently on the market, especially those used for exercising in cold weather, have many limitations. Lack of ventilation in the face mask causes moisture accumulation inside, build-up of bad odor, and fogging up of goggles and sunglasses. An inventor at Washington State University’s Department of Physics invented an anisotropic face...

Implementation of ACRT in Czochralski growth of Doped Single Crystals from Melt
Unmet Need: Homogeneous doping is hard to achieve by traditional methods Crystal growth using conventional methods such as Czochralski (CZ), often suffer from core breakdown and low uniformity. This was shown especially for those crystals grown with low temperature gradients and those grown from highly viscous melts, in which natural convection does...
