Oxygen-Scavenging Peptide Hydrogel for Enzyme Protection
Unmet Need: • O2-sensitive enzymes like [FeFe]-hydrogenase lose activity within seconds of ambient air exposure, severely limiting their industrial and sustainable energy applications • Lack of passive protection methods: Existing O2 protection technologies require continuous energy investment or complex systems to maintain anaerobic conditions The technology: • FmocFF peptide hydrogel: Self-assembling fluorenyl-methyloxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine forms 3D nanofibrillar […] Read More >
Heterogeneous structures comprising III-V semiconductors and metal oxide dielectrics,and a method of fabrication thereof.
Electron mobility in bulk III-V semiconductors is about an order of magnitude higher than in silicon, which promises much faster nanometer-scale electronics in GaAs-based devices. However, fabrication of metal oxide – semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), the central element of modern electronics, with III-V semiconductors is hampered for years by the unresolved problem of the […] Read More >
Solution Monolayer Epitaxy for Semiconductor Surface Passivation
Passivating the surface of various semiconductors, such as the III-V family of materials, has been a long-standing unsolved problem, which limits the performance of many devices. We have recently developed the technique of Solution Monolayer Epitaxy (SoME) which has a potential to solve such problems better than previous methods. UNMET NEEDUnlike silicon, where silicon […] Read More >

Novel gas sensors with enhanced selectivity based on integrated magnetic and conductometric measurements
Reliable detection of hazardous gases has become a key issue due to the more stringent environmental and safety regulations worldwide. Solid-state conductometric gas sensors present a high potential for applications where the use of conventional analytical systems such as gas chromatography or optical detection is prohibitively expensive or impossible. The operation of such sensors […] Read More >
Peptide-based water-soluble and transparent adhesive
Most adhesives involve various undesirable solvents or non-environment friendly elements. Other, more pleasant options often offer decreased adhesion between surfaces. Hence, bio-inspired peptide-based water-soluble adhesives could provide a favorable solution. Transparency, non-flammability and thermal stability of the material are additional key features attributed to this material.We have developed simple synthetic peptides, with aromatic and hydrophilic […] Read More >
Online Training of Stereo Self-Calibration usingMonocular Depth Estimation
Stereo imaging is the most common passive method for producing reliable depth maps. Calibration is a crucial step for every stereo-based system, and despite all the advancements in the field, most calibrations are still done by the same tedious method using a checkerboard target. Monocular-based depth estimation methods do not require extrinsic calibration but generally […] Read More >
Bio-Inspired Metal-Organic Crystal Interconnect for Spintronic Logic Operations
Ever since its discovery in the 1920’s, the electron spin has become an integral part of quantum mechanics. Electronic spin relates to and explains many properties, such as magnetism, spin-orbit coupling, and more. One important application of spin is in the field of spintronics – the use of spin as a basis for computation. In […] Read More >
A Fully Integrated Chip Scale Dielectric Resonance Antenna
Due to limited voltage supplies in scaled CMOS and the lower amplitude of harmonic generation at frequencies above transistors’ fmax, the radiated power out of a single element around 300GHz is limited to 0.5mW. Generating more power by combining signals from several locked sources on chip to the same on-chip antenna is not efficient due […] Read More >
