Georgia Tech team develops simple, low-cost process for oxide nanowires; superior separators for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials under ambient conditions without the use of catalysts or any external stimuli. The process is believed to be the first to convert bulk powders to nanowires at ambient conditions. —Lei et al.

Ceramic pump moves molten metal at a record 1,400 ?C; new avenues for energy storage and hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

The pump was developed by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with collaborators from Purdue University and Stanford University. Thermal energy is of greatest value—that is, has the highest available work or ‘exergy’—when it can be transported, stored and converted at the highest possible temperatures.
