Summary This technology enables multi-material image reconstruction from conventional single-spectrum X-ray tomography data, including standard CT and tomosynthesis, without requiring dual-energy CT or photon-counting CT hardware. The approach can generate basis-material images and virtual monochromatic images from data acquired using standard X-ray… Read More
SUMMARY A deep learning tool that quickly and accurately estimates prostate tissue composition from MRI scans, combining physical modeling and AI to provide robust, non-invasive cancer diagnostics without needing large, labeled datasets The Unmet Need: Advanced imaging techniques that can rapidly and… Read More
SUMMARY Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized portable electronics, but there remains room for improvement in energy density, electrochemical stability, and usable temperature window. An improvement in electrolytes can further such needs for the next-generation Li-ion battery. Current state of the art… Read More
SUMMARY The invention is a novel synthetic approach for surface modification of two-dimensional (2D) metal carbides (MXenes) using molten inorganic salts. Surface modification of MXenes have been hypothesized to affect material aspects ranging from structural properties to electron transport but—prior to this invention—no experimental method existed to… Read More
SUMMARY Electrodes in supercapacitor devices (computers, electric/fossil fuel burning vehicles, and renewable energy storage) and electrodes in lithium (Li) and sodium (Na) batteries (portable electronic devices, grid energy storage applications, and electric vehicles) can all benefit from improvements in their ability to store/produce energy/charge in a more efficient and… Read More
SUMMARY Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SART) is the precise delivery of concentrated radiation beams to a tumor from different angles. Due to the cross interaction between beams, SART is rarely able to be applied in the simultaneous treatment of multiple metastatic lesions, despite the potential benefit to patients who have… Read More
