Arizona State University Professor’s Work to Stabilize the Grid Pays Off

Cars That Think

He is a professor of power systems engineering in the Fulton program at Arizona State University , in Tempe. He was part of an IEEE task force that in 2020 issued a report that described how equipment used for storing energy, transferring power over long distances, and integrating renewable energy could impact power system stability.

Study finds advanced cellulosic biofuels show real promise for replacing some fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

A new study led by Colorado State University predicts significant climate benefits stemming from the use of advanced biofuel technologies. Scientists then compared this modeling to alternative ways to store carbon on the land, including growing forest or grassland. —John Field. —Stephen Long, a co-author and the Stanley O.

How to Prevent Another Europa Clipper Transistor Panic

Cars That Think

The canary box “is a very logical engineering solution to a problem,” says Alan Mantooth , an IEEE Fellow and a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Arkansas. These are volatile memories, which means once the power is off, they cannot store their state. But ideally, it wouldn’t have been needed at all.

Researchers synthesize lithium borosilicide material for use as Li-ion anode

Green Car Congress

Looking for an alternative to pure silicon for use as high-capacity and stable Li-ion anodes, a team led by researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM), with colleagues from Stockholm University, University of Augsburg and Arizona State University, have synthesized a novel framework structure consisting of boron and silicon.
