Sparse data is common in many scientific disciplines. Examples include large-scale simulations of physical phenomena, High Energy Physics experiments, machine learning applications, and many more. Acquired data is stored in a scientific data format that became a de facto standard for data management in government, academia and industry. As the amount of data in the scientific format continues to g ...

C55-01b-270667-AbstractThe world has started to transition to using hybrid-energy systems. As this transition progresses, many companies have started to re-purpose existing, aging assets. This re-purposing of aging assets can be prominently seen in the areas of biofuels processing and in hydrogen and carbon dioxide transmission pipelines. A core issue with repurposing aging assets lies in the ofte ...

C55-04b-270703The photonic approach to quantum information processing and networking is promising – it is expected that the quantum internet will be substantially built on optical fiber networks, where qubits can be exchanged over long distances via photons with wavelengths in the telecom range. The field of quantum photonics is continually developing and devices are being fabricated on scalable ...

C55-05a-270716Deep decarbonization is urgently needed across the board to solve the climate crisis. While carbon emissions associated with electricity production have reduced significantly over the past decade due to a precipitous decline in solar, wind, and battery costs, several sectors including chemicals and industrial transportation remain hard- to-abate. Specifically, by shifting chemical an ...

C53-14b-271071The increasing data rates in conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy, afforded by the developments of faster detectors and novel in-situ methods, requires automation of post- acquisition data analysis and, ideally, identification of regions of interest during experimental data acquisition. The overarching objective of this program is to leverage a suite of cutting- ...

C53-33b-271095Recently developed precision timing detector technology based on silicon Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) although exhibiting excellent timing performance, cannot attain 10µm position resolution needed for advanced 4D detectors. New small-pitch detector solutions are being developed which necessitates development of complimentary Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and r ...

C47-20a-271162Next generation molten salt reactor systems require the development of scalable processes to apply bimetallic structures of corrosion-resistant materials onto boiler and pressure vessels. This will improve the corrosion resistance, reliability, and lifetime of components in liquid-fuel and liquid-cooled reactors. Molten salts enable economical operation due to higher temperatures (>6 ...

C53-21a-271193Assuring trouble-free performance of downhole and surface components is critical for generation of low- cost electricity from geothermal energy systems. Because geothermal environments can be extremely corrosive, managing the corrosion of alloys used in geothermal system through a combination of proper alloy selection and operational practices is essential. Unfortunately, materials s ...
