A new SRI International deposition technology based on fluidized bed reactor-chemical vapor deposition takes advantage of the high heat and mass transfer in a FBR, and combines it with subhalide…

Here, a practical desorption process for supported amine adsorbents, steam-stripping, is demonstrated for the first time.

Methods were developed to fabricate tip arrays with integrated gate electrodes, separated from the substrate with sufficient dielectric to sustain high voltages.

This paper describes the experimental and modeling program at Sandia National Laboratories and presents results obtained for various barrier configurations.

Various types of energy harvesting generators based on dielectric elastomers have been tested.

We present recent investigations of metal-anode water-activated galvanic cells, specifically water-activated Alcells using inorganic alkali peroxides and solid organic oxidizers, in a semi-fuel cell configuration.

SRI International has been working toward development of a novel scheme for standoff detection of explosive chemicals that uses infrared (IR) laser evaporation of surfacebound explosive followed by ultraviolet (UV)…

We demonstrate optical manipulation of nanoliter aqueous droplets containing surfactant or lipid molecules and immersed in an organic liquid using near infrared light.

Our objective is to determine the force requirements, optimal vector, and appropriate materials of a novel eyelid sling device that will be used to rehabilitate eyelid closure (blink) in congenital…

This paper describes a numerical investigation of a surface exposed to a plasma flow for different plasma and material boundary conditions to allow an assessment of laser diagnostic measurements in…
