Energy
All-in-One Solar Energy Collection and Storage Solution
Conventional solar panels typically capture only sunlight's energy in the form of electricity, while the heat produced is wasted. This limits the overall efficiency of solar energy systems. Tulane researchers have developed solar technology that…
Energy
Ultra-Light, High-Efficiency Solar Technology
Solar panels that can be used in space or on flexible surfaces like clothing or drones need to be lightweight, durable, and able to work in harsh environments. Most current materials are either too heavy or not strong enough to survive these…
Energy
Adaptive Metalens Technology
Advanced lenses used in electronics, cameras, and microscopes are often bulky, costly, and difficult to manufacture. This solution is a new approach that aims to solve a significant challenge by new metalenses comprised of the phase change material…
Energy
Hybrid Solar Panel Technology for Enhanced Energy Capture
Conventional solar panels typically capture only sunlight's energy in the form of electricity, while the heat produced is wasted. Tulane researchers have introduced a promising solution by a more efficient and cost-effective method for producing and…
Computer Science
Optimized Blockchain Processing
Smart contracts, which power many blockchain applications, often run slowly and inefficiently due to how they are processed on current systems. Tulane researchers are creating a new approach that aims to solve a significant challenge by a…
Energy
Catalyst for Making Useful Chemicals from Greenhouse Gas
Carbon dioxide is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, but most efforts to remove it from the air are expensive or inefficient. This technology turns carbon dioxide - a major greenhouse gas - into ethanol, a fuel and industrial…
Diagnostics
Rapid PJP Detection System
Pneumocystis pneumonia is a serious lung infection that affects people with weakened immune systems. Tulane researchers are creating a new approach that aims to solve a significant challenge by a new and non-invasive diagnostic approach for PJP.
Environment/Ecology
Environmentally-Friendly Algae Control Foam
Algal blooms in lakes, rivers, and oceans can cause serious environmental damage and health risks but treating them is often harmful to other aquatic life. Tulane researchers are developing a new way to clean up harmful algae blooms in lakes…
Pharmaceutical
Advanced Nano-Carrier Chemical Delivery System
Many delivery systems for drugs or chemicals do not allow full access to the material inside, which limits their effectiveness. This technology will improve how medicines, chemicals, or catalysts are delivered by using tiny porous particles.
Oncology
Companion Animal Cancer Treatment Technology
Cancer treatments can cause serious side effects because drugs are often delivered throughout the entire body, not just to the tumor. This technology is creating a smarter, more targeted way to deliver cancer drugs to companion animals.
Therapeutics
Enhanced Pain Management Compound
Strong painkillers like morphine are effective but carry serious risks such as addiction and overdose. Tulane researchers are developing a new class of drugs that target the mu-opioid receptor to provide pain relief with fewer side effects.The…
Therapeutics
Novel Pain Management Compound
Strong painkillers like morphine are effective, but they come with serious risks, including addiction, overdose, and other health problems. Tulane researchers are creating a new approach that aims to solve a significant challenge by a new class of…
