In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

V-Cr-Ti alloys have been proposed as candidate structural materials in fusion reactor blanket concepts with operation temperatures greater than that for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels (RAFMs).

The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification.  The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.

A novel method that prevents detachment of an optical fiber from a metal/alloy tube and allows strain measurement up to higher temperatures, about 800 C has been developed. Standard commercial adhesives typically only survive up to about 400 C.

The invention introduces a novel, customizable method to create, manipulate, and erase polar topological structures in ferroelectric materials using atomic force microscopy.

With the ever-growing reliance on batteries, the need for the chemicals and materials to produce these batteries is also growing accordingly. One area of critical concern is the need for high quality graphite to ensure adequate energy storage capacity and battery stability.

Test facilities to evaluate materials compatibility in hydrogen are abundant for high pressure and low temperature (<100C).

High coercive fields prevalent in wurtzite ferroelectrics present a significant challenge, as they hinder efficient polarization switching, which is essential for microelectronic applications.

Distortion in scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images is an unavoidable problem. This technology is an algorithm to identify and correct distorted wavefronts in atomic resolution STM images.

We present the design, assembly and demonstration of functionality for a new custom integrated robotics-based automated soil sampling technology as part of a larger vision for future edge computing- and AI- enabled bioenergy field monitoring and management technologies called
