Every chart below recomputes live against your selection. Overlap and shared-theme views are most useful with two or more universities selected.
The visuals in this section are illustrative mock-ups only. They use sample data and do not reflect your university selection above. They preview capabilities we'd build out in a future phase to demonstrate the direction of the platform.

Recent Publications Ranked by Match Score
Recent scholarly publications across the UNC System mapped to potential inventions and ranked by patentability match score — the same card view as the Invention Scout AI page. Illustrative sample data.
A modular lipid-nanoparticle carrier that improves mRNA payload stability and enables tumor-selective uptake, reducing off-target expression in healthy tissue.
A cross-linked polymer electrolyte that autonomously repairs micro-fractures during cycling, extending cell life and improving safety in solid-state battery packs.
A low-power wearable that detects tremor onset via surface EMG and delivers adaptive peripheral nerve stimulation, offering a non-invasive alternative to deep-brain implants.
A tandem photovoltaic architecture pairing a stabilized perovskite top cell with a textured silicon base, achieving higher efficiency while resisting humidity-driven degradation.
A federated training scheme that compresses gradient updates and preserves patient privacy, enabling multi-site diagnostic model training without centralizing sensitive scans.
A synthetic microbial consortium applied at seeding that enhances water-use efficiency and nitrogen uptake, improving yield under drought stress in corn and soy.
