MICRONEEDLE ARRAY WITH A CONTROLLABLE LOCKING FEATURE
Unmet Need: Easy fixation and removal of microneedle for drug delivery
Microneedle (MN) arrays are medical devices used to deliver drugs to the human body via bypassing the skin barrier, namely the stratum corneum. Given MNs’ small size, they provide a less painful and minimally invasive approach to delivering via the skin. One challenge for...

Origami structure as an expulsion bladder for a rocket tank
Challenge: Supply of vapor-free cryogenic liquid propellant in a rocket tank
The key to propellant transfer in microgravity is the propellant management device (PMD), which ensures that vapor-free propellant is supplied from a source tank (e.g. a fuel depot) to a receiver tank or engine. Failure to do so for engines will result in combustion inefficiencies...
