Generating energy models from scratch is a costly and time consuming task. A detailed energy model can have thousands of input parameters that are necessary for a complete simulation of a building. A solution to this problem is the AutoBEMGen framework.

The technology describes deterministic atom steering for repeated identical defect generation in the scanning transmission electron microscope.

This invention utilizes a salt and an amine containing small molecule or polymer for the synthesis of a bulky anionic salt or containing single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte for the use in Li-ion and beyond Li-ion batteries.

Flue gas, and other industrial, gaseous waste streams are popular targets for CO2 sequestration technologies since the CO2 concentration is much higher compared to atmospheric concentrations.

The invention pertains to apparatus and methods for manufacturing carbon fiber, and more particularly, to apparatus and methods for carbonizing polymeric fibers using near-field electromagnetic treatment with the help of a material used as a susceptor in a resonant cavity.

A nondestructive method to measure a localized thermal expansion coefficient (LTEC), for anisotropic materials.

An optical metrology method measures anisotropic strain values when the composite is locally heated, which ultimately measures the local fiber orientation at a microscale resolution.

Next generation batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and other manufacturing needs require solid-state batteries made with high-performance solid electrolytes. These thin films are critical components but are difficult to manufacture to meet performance standards.

Inorganic fillers play an important role in improving the ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, and mechanical strength of solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) for next generation Li-ion batteries.

The disclosed technology provides a new pathway for roll-to-roll processing of hierarchically porous acrylic fibers through spinodal decomposition.
