Heatable solid-state batteries (SSBs) have the potential to enable high energy density and ultra-safe fast charging in electric vehicles (EVs) during cold weather overcoming many of the consumer acceptance barriers hindering widespread adoption. With proper material and system optimization, they are expected to reach desired charging rates of 4C or higher with 80% capacity retention at ambient tem ...

Artificial intelligence-assisted detection and imaging technology can gather data on underwater, surface, and aerial threats to gain situational awareness over opposing forces, and aids in navigating dangerous marine and terrestrial environments. Successful and efficient use of intel is crucial for strategic information warfare, but many current technologies require active monitoring to identify t ...

Emrgy, Inc., a pioneer in commercializing hydrokinetic power systems, is teaming with Premier Energy Holdings, Stanford University and University of Tennessee, Knoxville to develop a highly innovative solution to low-cost, riverine and tidal-based clean energy power generation. The project will implement “dynamic tuning” of the hydrokinetic turbine system to optimize performance across variabl ...

PHMSA reports a total of 5,745 pipeline incidents with 282 deaths and 1,193 injuries in the 20-year period from 2000 through 2019. Moreover, these incidents cost $10,419,311,449 in damages. Most oil and gas (O&G) transmission pipes are repaired externally by excavating around a damaged or leak site, preparing the pipe surface, and mechanically installing a repair product such as a clamp or wrap on ...

Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEA’s) in fresh concrete mixtures is a major concern in the concrete industry. Therefore, a rapid and accurate measurement of adsorption capacity of fly ash is of great interest to this industry.In this project, a new method is suggested, which can qualitatively and quantitatively measure different surfactan ...

Intelligent detection and imaging technology hold considerable value for Department of Defense to attain situational awareness and advantage over opposing forces, and for aid in navigating potentially dangerous marine and terrestrial environments. Technologies obtain intelligence on underwater threats and can gather intelligence on approaching surface threats. Current sensor technologies require a ...

Rincon Research Corporation (RRC) proposes assessing modern devices and techniques in the art of the possible that satisfy a number of key requirements. To reduce costs and shorten development timeline, RRC will focus on implementing the solution on low-cost, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software-defined radios (SDRs) which meet the low probability of interception/detection (LPI/LPD) waveform� ...

RF Viper is a novel next generation system to stop wrong-way drivers (WWD) on ramps. It is the “vehicle-to- infrastructure” missing component of the current Alert & Warning systems installed in many states. Like a true viper that uses its fangs to inject venom and incapacitate its prey, the RF Viper emits energy that interrupts vehicle engine electronics, stops the engine, incapacitating the v ...
