Economic potential of high density data storage implemented by patterned magnetic media technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Hard drive industry is facing scaling challenge for areal density to be further increased. This is due to the triangular conflictions among thermal stability (superparamagnetic effect), single-to-noise ratio and writability ...
Evaluation of nanoparticles-based thermotherapy for cancer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Under alternating magnetic field, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to generate heat for the treatment of cancer. With suitable coating, these nanoparticles are biocompatible, stable in solution, and ...
Shape morphing structures via intercalation compounds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Recent research has allowed the use of electrode-active materials as actuators by harnessing reversible volumetric change due to intercalation during charging and discharging. These actuators provide a relatively large ...
Commercialization of cryptomelane-type manganese oxide (OMS-2) nanowire paper oil sorbent
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Cryptomelane-type Manganese oxide (OMS-2, a group of Octahedral Molecular Sieves) nanowire paper exhibits interesting properties: reversible wettability, oleophilic while being hydrophobic, and high thermal stability. These ...
Commercialization potential of dye-sensitized mesoscopic solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The price of oil has continued to rise, from a high of US$100 per barrel at the beginning 2008 to a new record of above US$140 in the recent weeks (of July). Coupled with increasing insidious greenhouse gas emissions, the ...
Potential commercialization of a collagen-GAG scaffold for liver regeneration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The potential for commercializing a scaffold made of collagen and glycosaminoglycan to help regenerate cirrhotic liver was analyzed and a business plan and model were created. Using a lypholization technique, a bulk-sized ...
Commercialization of silicon on lattice-engineered substrate for electronic applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The commercial potential of SOLES (Silicon on Lattice-Engineered Substrate) is investigated considering the competing technologies, competing market players and market demands. Monolithic integration of Si devices with ...
The challenges of organic polymer solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The technical and commercial prospects of polymer solar cells were evaluated. Polymer solar cells are an attractive approach to fabricate and deploy roll-to-roll processed solar cells that are reasonably efficient (total ...
Technological assessment and evaluation of high power batteries and their commercial values
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery technology has the potential to compete with the more matured Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery technology in the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) energy storage market as it has higher specific ...
Commercialization of Quantum Dot White Light Emitting Diode technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
It is well known that the use of high-brightness LEDs for illumination has the potential to substitute conventional lighting and revolutionize the lighting industry over the next 10 to 20 years. However, successful penetration ...
