Abstract:
A quantum nanomaterial having a bandgap that may be tuned to enable the quantum nanomaterial to detect IR radiation in selected regions including throughout the MWIR region and into the LWIR region is provided. The quantum nanomaterials may include tin telluride (SnTe) nanomaterials and/or lead tin telluride (PbxSn1-xTe) nanomaterials. Additionally, a method of manufacturing nanomaterial that is tunable for detecting IR radiation in selected regions, such as throughout the MWIR region and into the LWIR region, is also provided.

Abstract:
Disclosed are hierarchical buoyant materials comprising porous components having multiple length scales that provide reduced density, higher strength, and improved buoyancy. The hierarchical buoyant materials include components having at least two length scales including a first porous material having elements characterized by a first linear length scale and a second porous material having elements characterized by a second linear length scale. The first porous material includes hollow microspheres, and the second porous material provides low effective density via geometrical arrangements. The second linear length scale is substantially different than the first linear length scale in terms of size, e.g., diameter, length, or distance. The second porous material is packed between the first porous material resulting in a combined material having a higher packing fraction than either the first porous material or the second porous material alone to provide reduced density, higher specific strength, and improved buoyancy per unit volume.

A lighting assembly includes a light source, such as an ultraviolet (UV) light source that is configured to emit UVC light, and a reflector system including a base having an internal central crest that is configured to direct emitted light away from the light source.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and system for making powdered Fe16N2. The method can include sealing iron powder and a fixed amount of ammonia (NH3) gas within a pressure vessel. The pressure of the fixed amount of ammonia gas in the pressure vessel can be elevated so that Fe16N2 can be formed from the iron powder. Use of a pressure vessel and a fixed amount of ammonia gas can provide economic and environmental benefits such as higher conversion rates of iron powder into Fe16N2, reduced ammonia gas use, and reclamation of used ammonia gas.
