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.

Detection Stays One Step Ahead of Deepfakes—For Now

Cars That Think

The main problem is how to handle new technology,” Luisa Verdoliva , a computer scientist at the University of Naples Federico II , says of the novel generation methods that keep cropping up. “In Intel Researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara took a similar approach in a recent paper.

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.

Study casting doubt on GHG benefits of corn stover ethanol draws sharp criticism by other researchers; Liska responds

Green Car Congress

The study led by University of Nebraska-Lincoln assistant professor Adam Liska, funded through a three-year, $500,000-grant from the US Department of Energy, used carbon dioxide measurements taken from 2001 to 2010 to validate a soil carbon model that was built using data from 36 field studies across North America.

California ARB mods to ZEV regulations for IVMs would result in ~1.9% drop in total ZEV/TZEV units 2018-2025; no impact on air quality requirements

Green Car Congress

In comparison, the IVMs face the comparatively difficult technological challenge of transitioning from compliance solely with PZEVs to compliance with TZEVs. Currently, nine states have done so: Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
