The 25,000-square-foot addition will include three battery laboratories, auxiliary support areas, a substation and a facility for battery cell testing, among other capabilities.
New research finds hard carbon in rice hull ash, providing a cheap, domestic source of the material that can replace graphite in lithium-ion or sodium-ion battery anodes.
‘There’s an intellectual milieu and an enthusiasm that’s palpable.’
Borrowing methods from biology, a team of scientists and engineers designed and tested an electrolyte that keeps battery power delivery high, cycle after cycle.
Thermophotovoltaics developed at U-M can recover significantly more energy stored in heat batteries.
Mixing unconventional ingredients in just the right order can make complex materials with fewer impurities. The robotic lab that tested the idea could be widely adopted.
Richard Laine is the academic category winner in a national EPA contest.
Taking inspiration from the word-predicting large language models, a U-M team is kickstarting an atom-predicting model with 200,000 node hours on Argonne’s Polaris.
