UT Austin team develops new family of high-capacity anode materials: Interdigitated Eutectic Alloys

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new family of anode materials that can double the charge capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes. It is a simple, low-cost approach that can be applied to a broad range of alloy systems with various working ions such as Li, Na, or Mg.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis. The addition of Zn, such as occurs in a coating on galvanized steel, further lowers the activation energy for CNT formation. Licht et al. Click to enlarge.

Designing the First Apple Macintosh: The Engineers’ Story

Cars That Think

make a low-cost “appliance”-type computer that would be as easy to use as a toaster. Briefly he considered building the plant in Texas, but since the designers were to work closely with the manufacturing team in the later stages of the Macintosh design, he decided to locate the plant at Fremont, Calif.,
