Autonomous Scanning Droplet Cell

Ongoing
Corrosion impacts a broad spectrum of application areas including infrastructure, transportation, and the military. The annual price tag for corrosion mitigation and remediation is 3.4 % of the US GDP. The team is particularly interested in discovering new metallic glasses (metals without long range

High Throughput Thin-film Materials Science

Ongoing
There are many materials science problems that don’t have good modeling frameworks and exist in large design spaces. In these domains the best approach is to rapidly acquire data. To achieve this we can deposit metallic alloys as thin films with a range of composition (or less commonly processing

Machine Learning: Educating the Next Generation Materials Workforce

Ongoing
Annual Bootcamp: Machine Learning for Materials Research (MLMR) The fifth annual MLMR met in the summer of 2020 with 180 attendees from 12 countries, 30% of whom were from industry. Over the 5 years of the bootcamp, we have had attendees from a total of 19 countries. We also run tutorials at MRS
Integrated multi-physics simulation and validation

Multiscale Modeling and Validation of Semiconductor Materials and Devices

Ongoing
The limitations of scaling traditional CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductors) designs have necessitated that the semiconductor industry consider new materials and design concepts. For wide bandgap semiconductor devices, optimization of materials and fabrication processes is needed to

Performance Metrics for Industrial Gas Separation and Purification

Ongoing
Sorbents in Direct Air Capture (DAC) are exposed to the atmosphere, where they adsorb CO2 then are isolated from atmosphere, the CO2 is driven off by heating or pulling vacuum, refreshing the sorbents. This adsorption-refresh cycle depends not only on the competitive adsorption of CO2 with the other

EV Battery Passport

Completed
End-of-life issues associated with EV batteries (EVBs) are estimated to have a steep rise in the coming decades. Given the finite nature of material resources worldwide, developing a circular EV batteries (EVB) infrastructure is needed to keep high value battery materials in the economy, therefore
