This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

This has radically improved what can be done with high-voltage transmission lines, MRIs, and energy storage. The engineering challenge of building complex systems that can harvest the energy and convert it to electricity without being destroyed by radiation poses a series of tall engineering and materials-science hurdles.

Five Cool Tech Demos From the ARPA-E Summit

Cars That Think

The company developed the cold plate under an ARPA-E grant and is now measuring the energy savings of liquid cooling through an ARPA-E program. The rare earth oxide then undergoes a molten-salt electrolysis process that converts it into a solid metal form.
