Abstract: This invention innovates an integrated instructional educational methodology called (An)x-to-One training model to students both in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (“STEM”) or other fields of education and in leadership development into one professional integrated training program. The system has testimonial feedbacks for effective and positive results when providing training for a wide range of students from children to adults. Examples of the present educational model can be particularly useful for high school students, undergraduate students who are learning STEM, and in interaction with formal working employees through the system's integration of many kinds of events and social activities. The system uses formation of an advisor team and labs to enhance leadership training as well as a follow up service which provides support to students.

Abstract: This invention provides an innovative method to manufacture graphene layers or quantities and graphene oxide layers or quantities from graphite, coal slags, asphalt, and other carbon-rich sold materials in nature. The present invention uses controllable microwave irradiation to heat the mixtures of basic material, graphite, or coal slags, or asphalt, or their combinations with ionic liquids and surfactant plus environmentally friendly oxidation agents. This invention can generate the said-products of graphene layers and graphene oxides in a short time period of one second to 300 seconds. The present invention does not involve any concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, nor huge water quantities needed for the purification, unlike the prior art.

Abstract: This invention innovates a low cost method to synthesize carbon fibers through graphene composites, which are fabricated through chemical treatment of graphite. This invention also is related to the applications of thereof carbon fibers in different fields. Several examples of such fields would be to use carbon fibers to manufacture carbon fiber tubes, pipes or risers, or car/airplane/computer parts, bicycles, and sports supplies and many additional applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to self-assembly methodologies, such as electrostatic self-assembly, layer by layer covalent self-assembly, nuclear induced self-assembly, regular ink jet printing and self-assembly inkjet printing methodologies for the fabrication of McFarland-Tang multilayer structured photovoltaic devices, photo-detectors and sensors. The methodology of the present invention allows for the flexibility to nanofabricate the thin layer of the semiconductor layer, the ultra-thin noble metal layer, and the ultra-thin photosensitizer layers to form the desired multilayer photovoltaic devices. Extending the self-assembly processes by ink-jet printing allows for the up-scaled nano-manufacture of McFarland-Tang photovoltaic devices on any type of substrate, including light-weight flexible photovoltaic fabrics and paper.

Abstract: An electrostatic self-assembly method of fabricating electrostrictive and piezoelectric thin film assemblies not only provides a thinner film than is attainable by conventional methods, but provides excellent molecular-level uniformity and precise structural control, and thus large, effective piezoelectric coefficients. The method produces a thin film assembly including (a) a substrate, and (b) a film having one or a plurality of layers disposed upon the substrate, wherein at least one of the layers includes a dipolar material, and this layer of dipolar material has a uniform thickness of at most 500 nm.
