Transition metal nanoparticle catalysts show great promise as a breakthrough for the realization of efficient and economical fuel cells. Fuel cells can provide
This program is aimed at determining the fundamental chemical and physical properties of the large organic compounds in fuels related to their combustion. Such
Fluorescence-guided surgical intervention is an emergent technology where a molecular contrast agent makes the target tissue glows (i.e., fluorescent). This
Part quality in additive manufacturing (AM) is highly variable due to inadequate dimensional tolerances, surface roughness, and defects, thereby limiting its
The behavior and properties of macroscale objects are stable and predictable because they are the result of the average behavior of very large numbers of atoms
Recent Graduate Program About the Program: The Recent Graduates Program affords developmental experiences in the Federal Government intended to promote possible
The certification for all SRM neutral density filters expires after two years. We maintain a program to recertify such filters produced by us. Filters returned
Physical disassembly of the 4.45 MN (1,000,000 lbf) deadweight machine (DWM) began in FY15 in order to address material galling that developed in key structural
Wildland fires that spread into urban areas, termed Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, are becoming more and more common across multiple locations of the
