PATENTS - HIGHLIGHTS
Laser Fusion System and Method
Nuclear fusion reactions—such as the fusion of light nuclei like hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium into heavier nuclei—are of particular interest for various applications. Beyond scientific and medical uses, one of the most important applications of nuclear fusion is energy and electricity generation. This invention relates to a system and method for producing “nearly clean” nuclear fusion reactions through laser pulse injection.
Graphene-Based Composite Material for Hydrogen and Heat Generation
This invention concerns a graphene-based composite material and its use for generating hydrogen and heat in an aqueous environment. Hydrogen is a leading candidate to replace traditional fuels due to its energy efficiency and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, hydrogen storage remains a significant challenge. A viable alternative is generating hydrogen from water at the point of use. This can be efficiently achieved by reacting water with magnesium nanopowders and graphene.
Hydrophilic Polymer Surface and Production Process
Given the promising properties of superhydrophilic polymer surfaces and the potential offered by plasma treatments, this invention introduces hydrophilic polymer surfaces with enhanced anti-fogging capabilities as an alternative to existing superhydrophilic polymers. Another objective is to develop hydrophilic polymer surfaces that also reduce light scattering, particularly for use in optical components.
