Hydrogen as a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels is part of a sustainable-energy future, and very much already here. However, lingering concerns about flammability have limited widespread use of hydrogen as a power source for electric vehicles. Previous advances have minimized the risk, but new research from the University of Georgia now puts that risk in the rearview mirror.
Hydrogen vehicles can refuel much more quickly and go farther without refueling than today s electric vehicles, which use battery power. But one of the final hurdles to hydrogen power is securing a safe method for detecting hydrogen leaks.

Paula Cable-Dunlap: Assembling nuclear mosaic
If a nation tries to hide a clandestine nuclear operation, Paula Cable-Dunlap and her team will give their all to help find it.
Just don’t call their work “nuclear CSI” – not where she can hear, at least.
“It’s never as easy as people make it seem,” said Cable-Dunlap, who leads the National Security Sciences Directorate‘s Collection Science and Engineering Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “Forensics is such a grossly overused term for what we do. “
Cable-Dunlap and her group in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Division track the signs that can uncover illicit nuclear activity or validate a peaceful program’s compliance with international obligations.

Utility-scale wind turbine blade design and production has remained relatively unchanged over the past 25 years. A National Renewable Energy (NREL)-led project is looking to evolve beyond business as usual, with the help of a recently announced FOA award from the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE s) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO).
Alongside partners TPI Composites Inc., Additive Engineering Solutions (AES), Ingersoll, Vanderbilt University, and the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation
