A video on Chandra Theegala's patented oil-water separator technology. The separator may be used to separate oil from water in situ in the ocean or other water body. This is a patented technology (Patent Number: 9,284,705).

Researchers at the LSU AgCenter are developing a technology that could potentially use a Nanoparticle Matrix to treat cataracts. If successful, it would first be used to treat animals with these eye problems, with the hope it could then be used for human treatments. This is a patent pending technology (PCT/US2015/044483).

This is a new method of producing though and flexible thermoset polymers from recycled sugarcane biomass that are potentially biodegradable.

VECAR protects cells from oxidation and can drive useful prodrugs to the artery wall to decrease plaque formation. Preventing plaque buildup reduces the chances of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. This invention is a new antioxidant molecule composed of vitamin E and carnosine (VECAR) that provides multiple layers of protection. This is a patented technology (Patent Number: 9,220,787).

The present invention relates to a method for detecting transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in mammals by growing the spiroplasma responsible for the disease from tissue or body fluid samples. The consistent recovery of this bacterial pathogen in abundance from TSE-affected tissues supports efforts to develop a live diagnostic test for TSEs.
