Current Development
Mid-infrared Gas Sensors
Joint R&D combines SBU world-leading research on mid-infrared sources and detectors with a proprietary gas-sensing technology developed by a Long Island Company. The goal is development and commercialization of a variety of inexpensive and robust gas sensors for industrial applications.
Nano-sensors for Gases, Humidity, and Icing
Based on SBU research in carbon-based nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes and graphene), an array of inexpensive, highly accurate sensors is been developed for applications in industry and avionics in the Laboratory of Low-dimensional materials for sensors and energy storage.
Nanomaterials for mid-scale energy storage
With industry support, we are developing graphene-based super-capacitors that are promising for applications in transportation.
3D-printing for electronics
Jointly with NY companies, we are developing new materials and designs for 3D printers for electronic manufacturing.
Electric grid monitoring
The R&D in that area is aimed at developing a system of sensors that will give real-time information on the status of electric grid distribution lines and be capable of working after massive power outages.
Computer electronics with ultra-low power consumption
In this ambitious project, our world-leader group in superconducting circuit design works on developing computer chips that would consume orders of magnitude smaller amount of energy than currently possible.
