million to develop technology focused on removing sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 )from the US power grid. SF 6 has been the standard gas used inside high voltage electrical equipment as an insulating and arc-quenching medium. The four projects selected to receive funding include the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn.;

The major driver for the project is the need to decarbonize the electrical grid, protect it from cybersecurity attacks and make it more resilient. We will be replicating the entire California power grid on one campus. The goal is to make the testbed available to outside research teams and industry by 2025.

Tanenbaum later developed the first gas-diffused silicon transistor, which could amplify and switch signals above 100 megahertz at a switching speed 10 times that of previous silicon transistors. He received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1949 from Johns Hopkins University , in Baltimore, and earned a Ph.D.
