Big Science tools for clean transportation: neutron scattering at ORNL

Green Car Congress

Funding is provided by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The lab, sited on 58 square miles of land, has grown into a multiprogram science and technology laboratory managed for the US Department of Energy (DOE) by UT-Battelle, LLC. Neutrons are classified according to their kinetic energy.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Will we have a universal standard for charging? Or are you getting in the car and doing 300 miles at 75 miles an hour, where aerodynamic drag consumes more energy than actually moving your two- or three-ton vehicle along the highway? Electric car batteries like cell phone batteries do degrade in energy capacity over time.
