Recent Technologies
Polyamine Transport Inhibitors as Antiviral Agents
34459 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida and Boston University are developing polyamine transport inhibitors for use as antiviral compounds. Polyamines are required for a variety of viral processes including replication, protein synthesis, and virus-host interactions. Many viruses, including coronaviruses, have been shown to be sensitive to polyamine depletion. While... Read More
Collective Intelligence Framework Can Fast Track Inspection and Accuracy
34286 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a method for reducing the time and cost of inspecting civil structures like bridges and buildings. Conventional methods for visually assessing civil infrastructures use subjectivity and may require long inspection time and high labor costs. Although some technologies (such as robotic techniques, augmented reality, and... Read More
Crash Recovery Improvements in Non-Volatile Main Memory (NVMM)
34234 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida and North Carolina State University have developed a way to reduce the execution time and write amplification associated with restoring data from non-volatile main memory (NVMM). Current crash recovery solutions use logging or checkpointing to provide failure safety to applications. However, these solutions are for volatile main... Read More
Actively Tunable Photonic Device Enables Multispectral Infrared Camouflage
34066 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have designed an innovative adaptive infrared (IR) camouflage system that can operate at any wavelength in the technologically relevant, midwave IR (3–5 µm) and longwave IR (8–12 µm) bands. The plasmonic nanostructured system design offers a faster, more efficient way to encode information and provides spectral selectivity, which is... Read More
Fungus-Derived Compounds to Fight Drug-Resistant Malaria
34250 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida and the University of Oklahoma have identified fungus-derived compounds for developing treatments against drug-resistant species of Plasmodium. Compounds collected from a large library of diverse fungi (including pure compounds and extracts) may enable scientists to target new cellular structures of malaria-causing parasites such as...

Conformal Visible Light Communication (VLC) Receiver with Efficient Optical Signal Reception
34238 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a mobile visible light communication (VLC) receiver that overcomes the signal quality and efficiency issues that hamper the widespread use of VLC systems. With the ability to provide secure, high-throughput indoor wireless networking, VLCs are ideal for multi-use office environments and Li-Fi (light fidelity)... Read More
Graphene-Carbon Fiber Electrodes for Robust Supercapacitors
34229 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a simple, low-cost method of creating electrodes for flexible, robust supercapacitors. The UCF invention resolves the performance and safety issues associated with producing supercapacitors for wearable electronic devices. It also offers a way to build commercially available supercapacitors with high specific... Read More
Virtual Humans May Increase Trust in Autonomous Control Systems
34507 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a method of using dynamic, realistic simulations to facilitate real human awareness and trust in an autonomous control system like a self-driving vehicle. The method employs online virtual humans that dynamically perform behaviors, such as gestures, poses, and verbal interactions based on the real-time input and... Read More
Phototransistor Mimics the Synaptic Behavior of Neurons
34446 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a phototransistor device that can act as an artificial photonic synapse for neuromorphic computing. Ultrathin and highly efficient, the device comprises a superstructure with the fast charge transport capability of graphene (G) and the efficient photogeneration features of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs). The UCF team... Read More
Low‐Cost Biopolymer-Metal Sensor for Onsite Detection of Heavy Metal Ions
34204 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed an inexpensive, reliable sensor that can rapidly and simultaneously detect traces of multiple heavy metals in water. With its unique biopolymer-metal composite thin film, the device provides improved sensitivity for identifying toxins in situ, including mercury, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, thallium, lead and zinc. ...
