  • Scalable and safe nanocrystal precursor
    Patent number: 11866629
    Abstract: A semiconductor nanocrystal can be made by an in situ redox reaction between an M donor and an E donor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Moungi Bawendi, Daniel Franke, Matthias Ginterseder
  • High performance distributed system of record with delegated transaction signing
    Patent number: 11687522
    Abstract: Transaction handling computing elements comprise a network core that processes transaction requests into a blockchain, wherein a data block is a collection of transactions, and wherein an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) supporting the blockchain is an output from a finalized transaction. The elements interoperate with a transaction signing mechanism that associates a set of addresses on the blockchain with a delegate address, the delegate address having a set of signing public keys corresponding to one or more signing private keys used to sign UTXOs. In association with a new transaction being processed by the set of transaction handling components, a signing public key for an associated UXTO is located by following an address chain that includes an address in the set of addresses together with the delegate address. The signing public key is retrieved from a location associated with the delegate address and then used to sign (unlock) the associated UXTO.
