Projects

Deploying large networks of ground-based methane detectors could help detect pipeline leaks, improve climate models, and regulate emission sources.

A new concept for a low-cost vacuum pump may enable development of a portable mass spectrometer that achieves high-performance chemical detection.

New materials that are chemically inspired by nature could be tailored at the molecular level to dissipate vibrations in microsystems. Materials that can survive repeated external stresses could enable a next generation of enhanced microsystems.
