Self-neutralizing air-breathing thruster and method of neutralization
An ion-engine is the cutting edge for atmospheric air-breathing engines. The technology depends on ionizing and neutralizing atmospheric air particles which create thrust. This unique possibility makes it an ideal choice for very-low-orbit satellites. Very- low-orbit satellite capabilities have benefits such as higher resolution for images, weight...

Conversion of short-chain alcohols to energy-dense hydrocarbon fuel mixtures
Researchers at the George Washington University have invented a novel mechanism and catalyst to convert a wide variety of alcohols to hydrocarbons and other by-products with high selectivity and lower energy requirements compared to other methods.
Multi-step H2-free upgrading of alcohols to liquid hydrocarbons is highly desirable for producing drop-in...

Non-Invasive Plasma Discharge Tube Device for Treating Brain Tumors
Treating brain tumors, like glioblastoma, is challenging. Current glioblastoma drugs, Rapamycin and Temozolomide (TMZ), generally only extend life for a matter of months, are not very effective in treating recurring tumors, and have significant clinical toxicity. A novel Plasma Discharge Tube (PDT) device has the potential to be more effective and less...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...

Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of CO2 to Potassium Formate using Glycerol as a Hydrogen Source
To simultaneously transform CO2 and glycerol, two low-value by-products, into formate and lactate can be highly economically attractive. Presently, however, it is challenging to achieve the reaction on an industrial scale.
GW researchers developed novel single-site supported heterogeneous catalysts that can simultaneously convert CO2 and glycerol into...

Cold atmospheric plasma-stimulated media for treating cancers
For successful cancer therapy, the most important aspect is selective eradication of cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cells and normal cells have different thresholds for tolerance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) before cell death (apoptosis) is induced. Previously, GW researchers invented a cold...
