2020 Silver Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The group is recognized for developing a novel imaging system—NeXT—that is the first to combine the power of both neutron imaging and x-ray 3-D tomography into a powerful, single-pass probe for materials structure and composition analysis. This novel technology provides an entirely new approach to resolving longstanding problems in materials science—in particular concrete degradation—and for advancing the state of the art of energy technologies, including fuel cells, lithium batteries, and unconventional shale and gas reservoir geologies.
