The HRTL delivers projects that address sustainability, climate and energy, sensing and device fabrication, and biodevices. Our researchers solve problems through a wide variety of technology solutions including composites for extreme environments, amorphous and polycrystalline silicon systems, flexible x-ray imaging, compact optical sensing, and more.  

Our capabilities span the full innovation pipeline including ideation, modeling and simulation, experimentation and proof-of-concept, prototyping, system building, and small-scale manufacturing, covering technology readiness levels from one to seven.   

The division offers a fully developed cleanroom with established processes to design and fabricate a wide variety of active optoelectronic devices and large area thin film devices including thin-film transistors. We support sponsored R&D and product development for clients to prototype novel processing techniques that are transferable to manufacturers. For clients who want to develop and prototype new devices and technologies quickly and cost-effectively, we help develop new processes, build prototypes, and transition technology to manufacturing.
