This project addresses the need to access and control extreme temperature sample environments that are used in many research applications at neutron beamline facilities. Successful Phase I feasibility showed the route to development and integration of controlled and extreme sample environments and new measurement techniques that are an important aspect of beamline operations and user support. In c ...

While science and technology fields greatly benefit from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in surface characterization, time-resolved chemical imaging on the single-molecule level, e.g., Near-Field Scanning Optical Spectroscopy and Ultrafast Tip-Enhanced Spectroscopy, lags far behind — current scanning probe microscopy only obtains information about mechanical, but not chemical/optical properties. T ...

Next generation rare isotope beam facilities require new and improved techniques, instrumentation and strategies to deal with the anticipated high radiation environment in the production, stripping and transport of ion beams. Radiation tolerant infrared video cameras using sensors with 5 µm and longer cut-off wavelength are needed for beam delivery and remote handling operations because they prov ...

Many applications involved in real-time data collection need to monitor their data while it is being collected. This need occurs in a large and growing number of applications that use common scientific hierarchical data formats for data management, such as aircraft flight testing, autonomous vehicles, particle accelerators, and many more. There are two shortcomings to these formats that make it di ...

Current hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) on the market rely on high-pressure hydrogen, 700 bar, storage systems to store and deliver hydrogen for use in the fuel cell. Bringing hydrogen to high pressures and storing hydrogen at high-pressure requires sophisticated compressors and specialized carbon wrapped tanks, respectively. This high-pressure constraint makes FCEVs vehicles challeng ...

There is a fundamental need for a high-performance computing approach to computational electromagnetics modeling tools suitable for designing and optimizing high-end nanostructures and photonics devices. Complex geometries and material responses to incident electromagnetic fields require a significant level of computational resources, especially when realistic manufacturing tolerances are incorpor ...

As the world continues to rely more heavily on connectivity, it becomes more and more imperative that the networks that support the technical applications leverage intelligence to guide the network operations management. These networks and the applications that utilize them produce massive complex data that range from structured, unstructured, geo-spatial, images, real and historical to name a few ...

The lack of availability and usability, combined with the cost of development, ownership, and operation of high performance compute-ready simulation capabilities, are significant barriers to utilization of modeling and simulation for American industries. Most open-source, free technologies are difficult to use and/or are not validated to the extent needed for industrial applications. Many relative ...

Low concentrations of contaminants in hydrogen fuel can foul or damage fuel cells in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Currently there is infrequent monitoring of hydrogen quality at filling stations. There is no instrumentation available to perform this function at the station. In this project, a diode laser instrument is being developed that will be able to perform these measurements at filling stati ...

With in situ data management favoring workflows composed of multiple simulations and analyses connected in transit on heterogeneous machines, scientists and engineers need for a tool that enables them to create data extracts, visualizations, and interactively monitor and steer their simulations. JMSI is developing SCOREBOARD, an easy to use library for data extract production and simulation monito ...
