Characterization of Functional Nanoscale Materials for Vapor Sensing

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Christopher Aardahl
Project type
Exploratory Research
Materials will be characterized in a variety of configurations including powders, pelletized beds, and thin films. These will generally be coupled to acoustic sensors for characterization as vapor…

Microcalorimetric Sensors

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Michael Free
Project type
Exploratory Research

Theoretical Studies of Kinetic Processes in Nanoscale Ice Films

Lead Institution
University of Iceland
Principal Investigator
Hannes Jonsson
Project type
Exploratory Research
We will study the sticking probability of a water molecule on the basal plane of hexagonal ice using experiments and theory. The molecular sticking will be studied over a wide range in energy (0.5…

FTIR Characterization of Fe-films formed on ephemeral pool

Lead Institution
University of Greifswald
Principal Investigator
Georg Grathoff
Project type
Exploratory Research
This investigation is a part of a large nationally funded investigation of determining the origin, hydrology and engineering properties of the large Pleistocene and Holocene dune sheets on the West…

A proteome for specific cell types in Caenorhabditis elegans

Lead Institution
University of British Columbia
Principal Investigator
Donald Moerman
Project type
Exploratory Research
Our group is part of an effort to describe the complete transcriptome and eventually proteome for individual cell types during development in the free-living nematode C. elegans. At this point we and…

Characterization of Manganese Cobalt Oxides Using XPS

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Guanguang (Gordon) Xia
Project type
Exploratory Research
Recently, manganese cobalt oxides are found to be promising protective materials to detain Cr migration from the metal interconncet to the cathode of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). With different…

DOE Matrix

Lead Institution
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Kenneth Roche
Project type
Exploratory Research
A matrix of information and data related to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) science programs and missions will be constructed. A secure web-interface will be developed that will allow this…
