Light truck with fuel cell, battery and supercapacitor

An electric vehicle with three energy storage systems shows the complexity of commanding different control systems in only one vehicle. Both new systems can supply the required energy to propel the electric motor and the fuel cell system can also recharge the high-voltage battery.

New approach to develop ultra-strong, lightweight materials

Researchers have leveraged the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing to design strong, ultra-lightweight 'architectured foam' structures that have the potential to make vehicle bodies much lighter and stronger and improve water production and oil and gas operations.

Wireless, wearable toxic-gas detector

Researchers have developed low-cost chemical sensors, made from chemically altered carbon nanotubes, that enable smartphones or other wireless devices to detect trace amounts of toxic gases.

Origins of deterioration in lithium batteries

Researchers use diffraction data from pulsed high-intensity neutrons to understand the reactions that deteriorate lithium batteries during operation.
