Burak Ozpineci started out at ORNL working on a novel project: introducing silicon carbide into power electronics for more efficient electric vehicles. Twenty years later, the car he drives contains those same components.
Having co-developed the power electronics behind ORNL’s compact, high-level wireless power technology for automobiles, Erdem Asa is looking to the skies to apply the same breakthrough to aviation.
ORNL has licensed its wireless charging technology for electric vehicles to Brooklyn-based HEVO.
Researchers at 91°µÍø have developed a novel envelope system that diverts heat or coolness away from a building and stores it for future use.
Consumer buy-in is key to the future of a decarbonized transportation sector in which electric vehicles largely replace today’s conventionally fueled cars and trucks.
Xin Sun has been selected as the associate laboratory director for the Energy Science and Technology Directorate, or ESTD, at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø.
ORNL’s Xiaobing Liu, a researcher in the Building Equipment Research Group at 91°µÍø, has been recognized by the American Association of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers with a Distinguished Service Award.
