Oxygen-Scavenging Peptide Hydrogel for Enzyme Protection
Unmet Need: • O2-sensitive enzymes like [FeFe]-hydrogenase lose activity within seconds of ambient air exposure, severely limiting their industrial and sustainable energy applications • Lack of passive protection methods: Existing O2 protection technologies require continuous energy investment or complex systems to maintain anaerobic conditions The technology: • FmocFF peptide hydrogel: Self-assembling fluorenyl-methyloxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine forms 3D nanofibrillar […] Read More >
Heterogeneous structures comprising III-V semiconductors and metal oxide dielectrics,and a method of fabrication thereof.
Electron mobility in bulk III-V semiconductors is about an order of magnitude higher than in silicon, which promises much faster nanometer-scale electronics in GaAs-based devices. However, fabrication of metal oxide – semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), the central element of modern electronics, with III-V semiconductors is hampered for years by the unresolved problem of the […] Read More >
Device and methods for voltage regulation in pulsed electric field generators using asymmetric voltage dubler
The Need Global population growth together with enhanced quality of life, in the era of climate change, is expected to cause doubling of the world’s food and energy demand by 2050. Furthermore, there is a strong interest in the replacement of fossil-based industries towards economical, environmentally friendly, and sustainable resource, for food, chemical and energy […] Read More >
A Fully Integrated Chip Scale Dielectric Resonance Antenna
Due to limited voltage supplies in scaled CMOS and the lower amplitude of harmonic generation at frequencies above transistors’ fmax, the radiated power out of a single element around 300GHz is limited to 0.5mW. Generating more power by combining signals from several locked sources on chip to the same on-chip antenna is not efficient due […] Read More >
Peptide-based biomimetic hydrogels for bone regeneration
A multi-component biomimetic hydrogel scaffolds that will guide the architecture of tissue formation in bone defects. UNMET NEED Regeneration of bone defects is a major clinical challenge worldwide. The main objective is to restore and improve the function of bone tissue by scaffolds, providing a suitable environment for tissue regeneration and repair. An ideal, predictable, […] Read More >
Six pack off axis holography
A method for multiplexing six off-axis holograms into a single multiplexed hologram, where the multiplexing can be done optically or digitally. BACKGROUND We present a novel technology, which is able to yield the thickness profile of metrological samples and stain-free biological samples in six times more information contents compared to the state-of-the art, without loss […] Read More >

Powerful nonlinear frequency conversion in fiber/silicon devices We propose an efficient, broadband frequency translation platform based on χ_3 materials, such as optical fibers and silicon waveguides, that can be readily integrated with existing fiber laser technology and is suited for a wide range of applications, including: Multi-color ultrafast/continuum sources for spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing Upconversion […] Read More >
Deep Learning-based design of nano-photonics structures
TAU Researchers have developed a unique deep-learning algorithm that can predict the spectral response of nanostructures with high accuracy as well as provide a single nanostructure’s design, geometry and dimension, for a targeted or measured optical response. Nano-optics and Nano-photonics aim to do what is unachievable with standard linear optics, which is to go beyond […] Read More >
Block polyester copolymers by ring opening polymerization employing new catalysts
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a plastic material derived from annually-renewable resources, which decomposes post-consumption to non-toxic materials. PLA is produced by the catalyzed ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide. PLA is attracting considerable current interest and has found various commodity (packaging, fibres, etc.) and biomedical (sutures, stents, tissue engineering, drug release) applications. Substantial worldwide effort […] Read More >
Passive communications with time-varying metamaterials
The coming years will see a revolution by connecting everything to anyone, and RFID and similar technologies, will lead this 300B$ USD industry and 50B connected devices. Examining existing RFID standards suggests that the leading standard, called EPC Gen 2, is a standard in the 900MHz frequency which allows hundreds of tags to be read […] Read More >
