Sandia testing method yields pathway to better, longer-lasting solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

The contributions from ions, electrons, and interfaces are deconvolved by correlating the CPD profiles with Li-concentration profiles and by comparisons with first-principles-informed modeling. The work was done in collaboration with NIST, Naval Research Labs, University of Maryland College Park and Brown University.

New protonic ceramic fuel cell addresses power density and stability issues

Green Car Congress

They are particularly attractive in comparison to other fuel cells as a consequence of the high ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at at intermediate temperatures (400–600 °C). Like other fuel cells, they enable direct electrochemical conversion of chemical fuels to electricity at high efficiency and with zero emissions.

Detection Stays One Step Ahead of Deepfakes—For Now

Cars That Think

Its accuracy was 78 percent, 91 percent, and 94 percent, about four percentage points better than the best comparison method on each respective dataset. Researchers at the University of Maryland recently proposed a method that randomly creates a set of greenlisted vocabulary words, then gives a slight preference to those words when writing.

Charged and umlaut continue partnership on 2021 EV Charging Infrastructure Benchmark

Charged EVs

The testers conducted nearly 150 tests at 28 stations (4 each from 7 different networks) in Michigan, Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The goal was to bring you a comparison of the charging industry’s best efforts: a search for the best user experience currently available. The testing experts: umlaut.
