Infrared Detector (Technology #: 052808-01)

The given invention features a novel device for bolometric sensing of incident mid and far IR radiation. The technology employs a freestanding entangled 2-dimensional network of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). Such suspended SWCNT networks have a large bolometric response over a wide temperature range, including room temperature. They have...

Rapid Sensing of Toxic Metals with a New Hybrid Inorganic Material (HIM) Through pH Changes (Technology #: 052407-01)

Lehigh University is actively looking for partners to commercialize a new method for rapidly identifying the presence of toxic heavy-metal contaminants in groundwater. Decades of mining for heavy metals such as lead, zinc and cadmium have produced abandoned mines across the U.S., each of which has the potential to pollute nearby groundwater sources....
