High-Temperature Superconductivity in Nickelate Heterostructures at Ambient Pressure
Ambient-pressure nickelate superconductivity above 40 K would reshape condensed-matter roadmaps and energy transmission research.
Solid-State Lithium-Metal Batteries with Self-Healing Ceramic Electrolytes
Self-healing solid electrolytes attack the core reliability failure mode blocking commercial Li-metal batteries.
Direct Air Capture with Moisture-Swing MOFs at Sub-$100/tCO2 Model Cost
Crossing the $100/t psychological and policy threshold for DAC would unlock carbon-removal markets at climate-relevant scale.
In-Space Manufacturing of Large Aperture Optics via Controllable Polymerization
Manufacturing large optics in orbit breaks fairing-size limits that cap space telescope and communications apertures.
Room-Temperature Quantum Sensing with Engineered Defect Ensembles in 2D Materials
Chip-scale room-temperature quantum sensors open medical, industrial, and navigation markets that cryogenic systems cannot reach.
Closed-Loop Discovery of Solid Electrolytes with Robotic Labs and Language Models
Closing the loop from literature hypothesis to physical synthesis compresses materials discovery from years to days.
