The EU and Japan are strengthening their research relationship with the launch of an enhanced dialogue on advanced materials. Under this agreement, the EU and Japan will work on developing new materials that are used in critical sectors of the economy, such as renewable energy, batteries, zero-emission buildings and semiconductors. It aims to create a […]
A mutual inductance level sensor system for liquid metals
In the Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, component and instrument technology for liquid metal fast reactors is tested in sodium at temperatures up to 650°C. This high temperature, along with the reactivity of the sodium, requires unique solutions to simple measurements. One example is monitoring the liquid […]
Predictive tool could speed up battery and superconductor research
From lithium-ion batteries to next-generation superconductors, the functionality of many modern, advanced technologies depends on the physical property known as intercalation. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to identify in advance which of the many possible intercalated materials are stable, which necessitates a lot of trial-and-error lab work in product development. Now, in a new study, researchers from […]
