New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

During this period, the coupled system will run efficiently on the most powerful DOE High Performance Computational Facility computers. The E3SM project will soon convert to an “open development” project. This model adds a much more complete representation between interactions of the energy system and the earth system.

OSU team develops new aqueous lithium-iodine solar flow battery; 20% energy savings over Li-I batteries

Green Car Congress

The square piece of solar cell (center) is red, because the researchers are using a red dye to tune the wavelength of light it absorbs and converts to electrons. Aqueous flow batteries have attracted significant interest because they could theoretically provide affordable power grid-level energy storage someday.
