*Issued on Thursday in observance of Juneteenth* This week's awards: Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Demonstrations Program's Pumped Thermal Energy Storage in Alaska Railbelt (POLAR)

Researchers will use Argonne’s Theta system to simulate four million images of the cosmos.

The simulation showed how plasma particles traveled across the magnetic field surface, the boundary separating confined plasma from unconfined plasma.

Plant biochemists produced a yellow-seeded variety of Camelina sativa, a relative of canola, that accumulates 21.4% more oil than ordinary camelina.

Awards will accelerate the innovation and application of advanced nuclear technologies that could lower nuclear plant operational costs and further develop molten salt fuel for future use in an advanced reactor.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) announced $41.4 million in federal funding for 50 impactful projects across 17 National Laboratories to propel energy solutions. The funding is made available through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) Base Annual Appropriations Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call.

Major Manufacturers Tout the Effort as Critical for Strengthening Global Energy Systems

Scientists developed a new efficient catalyst for the more challenging of the two necessary reactions: the oxygen evolution reaction.

Researchers demonstrate a programmable approach to fabricating optical qubits in silicon for large-scale manufacturing.

The new discovery improves upon current batteries found in many of today’s electric cars.
