US Department of Defense awards NanoSD for ARMY SBIR
January 12, 2019
NanoSD was awarded for SBIR Phase I of US Army's Air Platform research.
NanoSD will develop a lightweight, hybridized dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) with nano-generator (NG) that is less sensitive to incident sunlight than conventional solar cells and is capable of converting electricity from turbulence and temperature difference generated at high altitude of an UAV unit in operation.
The multi-energy harvesting device will meet the power density per device of 10 mW/cm2 required to support the UAV platform to increase the flight time during the operation, and to provide auxiliary power to multifunctional sources on UAV.

Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy initiated "Delivering Efficient Local Thermal Amenities" (DELTA) Project to reduce the costs for heating and cooling buildings by developing Localized Thermal Management Systems (LTMS). LTMS modify the physical space around the human body rather than the entire building, with significant energy savings for both new and old buildings.
