L. Wilson and C. Johnson/National Energy Technology Laboratory
Cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells consist of interconnecting and contacting two-phase interfaces and three-phase lines in a complex three-phase microstructure. The interfacial crystallography, which influences the reaction rates at the cathode and cell performance, is dynamic and […]

X-ray Vision for Materials [Research]
R.M. Suter /CMU MRSEC, Carnegie Mellon University, NSF DMR- 0520425
Researchers in the CMU MRSEC, together with scientists at the advanced photon source, have developed a non-destructive method to visualize the arrangement and orientation of individual crystals within a solid material. High energy X-rays from a synchrotron light source penetrate […]
