Biofluid-Probe Platform for Mobile Health Telematics.
A wireless health network is expected to be a key element in future customized
health care. In response to this challenge and opportunity, CoHNS is developing
a Biofluid-Probe Platform for Mobile Health Telematics. This system includes
a personal device for blood and urine diagnostics, a wireless communication
network, and an intelligent system for patient data analysis. The bio-chemical
analyzer is based on the multi-analyte sensors combined with a universal
optical readout. With advanced robust personal mobile diagnostic devices,
most of the essential chemical and biological parameters of blood and
urine can be measured by a patient several times a day and submitted through
the wireless communication network to enable constant diagnostics, monitoring,
and evaluating of emergency rescue.
Water Monitoring Multi-Analyte Platform. Sensor technologies,
communication and respond systems developing by CoHNS will be employed
for multi-modal, multi-parametric monitoring systems, which will provide
rapid detection capabilities for environmental contaminants ranging from
the viruses and bacteria to toxic industrial chemicals to enhance the
quality of life, well being, and safety of individuals.
Fiber-Matched Technology for Ultrafast Quantum Communication.
This technology based on superconducting quantum wires will benefit such
areas as optical quantum logic, quantum cryptography, spin-photonics,
and ion-trapping quantum computing. It will poise the experimental efforts
in quantum computing and communications to a vastly more sophisticated
level. The system being developed substantially outperforms any existing
competitors in terms of operating speed, dark counts, flexibility, and
versatility.
Manufacturing Nanoblocks with Selective Quantum Transitions.
Currently available manufacturing technologies cannot produce identical
nanoparticles, which provide selective interaction with electromagnetic
radiation. CoHNS is working on a novel technology capable of selecting
millions of nanoobjects (e.g., quantum dots, nanoparticles, and nanotubes)
with identical electron transitions. Such nanoobjects made from organic,
inorganic, and hybrid materials have numerous potential applications in
solid-state lighting, medicine, and advanced sensing systems.
Nanoscale Thermal Management of Devices and Systems. As
the size scale of electronic devices continues to decrease, the dissipation
of heat generated in device operation develops into a critical problem
and, therefore, increasing of thermal conductivity at nanoscale level
becomes of vital importance. By providing the needed fundamental and technological
bases, this program develops effective ways to control energy transfer,
which, in turn, will strongly affect the development of advanced nanodevices
and systems.
