Thermo-responsive micro-architected hydrogels for atmospheric water extraction
A 3D-printable super-absorbent hydrogel that captures water from air in arid environments and releases it on demand using mild heat. The interpenetrating polymer network combines high water uptake with rapid, thermally t...
Nano-architected CKA-co-alkyl acrylate polymers for sustainable packaging coatings
UV-initiated degradable polymer coatings that combine cyclic ketene acetals with acrylate chemistry to improve backbone degradability. Compatible with 3D printing and interference lithography for scalable, solution-proce...
Functionalized Polymer Adsorbent for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal in Stormwater Runoff
Ultr high surface area functionalized polymers designed to capture nitrate and dissolved organic nitrogen from bioretention system discharge, with phosphorus removal as a bonus capability. Offers a targeted adsorbent sol...
Physics-informed model for optimal absorbent product selection
A physics-informed model that utilizes porous media mechanics and machine learning to optimize the selection of absorbent products based on individual consumer profiles and product characteristics.
Wireless sweat patch for real-time C-reactive-protein monitoring
InflaStat is a wireless, wearable patch developed by Caltech that enables non-invasive, real-time monitoring of C-reactive protein (CRP) in sweat. By analyzing this inflammatory biomarker, the device offers a convenient,...
Retrieval-based controllable molecule generation
RetMol is a research framework that enables the controllable generation of molecules by steering pre-trained models with a small set of retrieved exemplar molecules. Developed by researchers including those from the Cali...
Cellulose-nanofibril interfaces for porous multimodal bioelectronics
Cellulose-nanofibril (CNF) interfaces are a sustainable, biomass-derived technology developed by Caltech to improve the printing quality, strain resilience, and functionality of porous, soft bioelectronics. By smoothing ...
Self-limiting, species-customizable plant gene drive
ClvR is a customizable, plant-specific CRISPR gene-drive technology that uses a toxin-antidote mechanism to spread desired genetic traits through plant populations. It offers a scalable approach for population modificati...
Generative protein language models for designing substrate-promiscuous enzymes
Caltech researchers developed a generative AI platform using the GenSLM protein language model to design high-performance, substrate-promiscuous tryptophan synthase (TrpB) enzymes. This technology accelerates biocatalyst...
