Toward batteries that pack twice as much energy per pound

These discs were used for testing the researchers’ processing method for solid-electrolyte batteries. On the left, a sample of the solid electrolyte itself, a material known as LLPO. At center, the same material coated with the cathode material used in their tests. At right, the LLPO material with a coating of gold, used to facilitate measuring its electrical properties.

Seeing the plasma edge of fusion experiments in new ways with artificial in...

Plasma Science and Fusion Center

Visualized are two-dimensional pressure fluctuations within a larger three-dimensional magnetically confined fusion plasma simulation. With recent advances in machine-learning techniques, these types of partial observations provide new ways to test reduced turbulence models in both theory and experiment.

Selective separation could help alleviate critical metals shortage

Pictured are rare earth oxides of neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium – all critical components for magnets – that have been processed with sulfidation technology. The violet regions are neodymium-rich sulfide, the green regions are praseodymium oxysulfide, and the orange regions are dysprosium rich sulfides and oxysulfides.
