C55-06a-270224-AbstractDemand for increased brightness of synchrotron light sources has been driven by advances in novel experimental techniques studying nanomaterials, micro- and nanocrystals, and interactions of atomic and molecular structures. Strong demand has pushed technologies of low emittance electron sources, novel concepts in electron storage rings, free electron lasers (FELs) and undula ...

C55-13a-270397To date, no integrated characterization and predictive modeling workflow has been proposed to optimize Geothermal Battery Energy Storage (GBES) systems in sedimentary formations. Of particular concern is the near wellbore formation integrity of GBES systems that are subject to Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) loading conditions: during injection, storage, and production c ...

There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring across the entire the U.S. and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry is also contendin ...

C56-10d-273616To meet the need for more sustainable manufacturing supply chains with reduced greenhouse gas emissions and to remove reliance on foreign supply chains, policymakers and researchers have begun exploring the possibilities of biomanufacturing commodity chemicals and materials. Acrylates are a primary monomeric component in paints, coatings, plastics, and super-absorbent polymer applica ...

C56-24b-274053 Removal of contaminant remains one of the most significant cost components of the decontamination. Development of a low-cost nanofiber-based cleaning media suitable for efficient decontamination, with a wide range of desired characteristics meeting the required performance targets is the subject of this project. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to design, ...

C56-18k-274059 eSpin Technologies, Inc. in cooperation with Sandia National Laboratories will develop and manufacture a new class of non-PFSA ionomers and proton exchange membranes (PEM). In Phase I, polymer synthesis with a range of uncharged and linear crosslinkable non PFSA polymer will be carried out. Reinforcing nanofiber scaffold will be developed from uncharged robust polymers into which th ...

The International Energy Agency estimates that the chemicals sector alone emits 1.5 GT CO2 each year, representing 18% of total carbon emissions. Since the chemicals sector is directly responsible for nearly every other portion of the economy and life as we know it today, it is imperative that we make every possible effort to decarbonize these operations while still producing the same critical che ...

There is a large, unmet need for an energy-efficient, facility-scale mobility system that addresses the needs of underserved communities, particularly people with reduced mobility (PRM). Mobility services in airports and other large facilities, are failing to meet the needs of PRM due to rapidly scaling demand and fragmented systems that remain heavily reliant on manual labor and unreliable commun ...

Statheros proposes to investigate the feasibility of CAIOS, Containerized Artificial Intelligence for microservices-based Open architecture Systems. CAIOS is a novel, portable, virtualized, AI-enabled Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capability powered by a fusion of globally-deployed commercial technology that will enhance the state of the art for Department of the Air Force’s (DAF’s) numerous n ...
