Completed TRL 3 (started at 1, targeting 3)
Individual talks by JPL and Caltech experts on graphene to present the different ambits of application in which graphene is currently being used on campus, roundtable among the participants to identify graphene's potential applications and impact for future NASA missions: atomic-scale detectors, high-frequency sources, efficient thermal dissipation, expandable structures, etc., discuss the viability and a possible roadmap to establish a high-quality graphene CVD production process.
Recent demonstration of 300 GHz transistors using graphene supports projection of developing high speed devices that operate at THz levels by 2020 with potential to develop fully functional high speed circuits that can be employed in missions by 2028
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
