Structured Glass-Ceramic Scintillators
The Problem: For portal imaging at MeV energies, electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) based on indirect flat panel detector (I-FPD) technology, as depicted below, have become standard. The highest-performing I-FPDs that are currently available have very low (~1%) detective quantum efficiency (DQE) performance at MeV energies. This limitation is... (read more) -
Micro Scalable Thrusters for Adaptive Mission Profiles in Space
The Problem: State-of-the-art electrospray-based micro-propulsion thrusters for Cubesats are designed around arrays of sharp micro-emitters protruding directly into space. These emitters are responsible for generating the intense electric fields needed to electrospray a propellant and generate thrust. Sharper emitters require lower voltages to operate,... (read more)
