A novel strategy was developed to solve the limitations of the current sorbent systems in CO2 chemisorption in terms of energy consumption in CO2 release and improved CO2 uptake capacity.

This invention introduces a novel sintering approach to produce hard carbon with a finely tuned microstructure, derived from biomass and plastic waste.

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).

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 increasing demand for high-purity lanthanides, essential for advanced technologies such as electronics, renewable energy, and medical applications, presents a significant challenge due to their similar chemical properties.

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).

Electrochemistry synthesis and characterization testing  typically occurs manually at a research facility.

Sensing of additive manufacturing processes promises to facilitate detailed quality inspection at scales that have seldom been seen in traditional manufacturing processes.
