Sergei Kalinin, a joint appointee at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and PNNL, and Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang, a PNNL Lab Fellow, are part of the 2024 class of National Academy of Inventors Fellows.
PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.
The next-generation ShAPE machine has arrived at PNNL, where it will help prove the mettle of the ShAPE extrusion technique. ShAPE 2 is designed to allow researchers to produce larger, more complex extrusions.
PNNL had a significant presence at October’s North American Wind Energy Academy/WindTech 2023 Conference in Denver, Colorado. Thirteen PNNL wind experts participated in various capacities.
The Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office recently issued two awards to researchers at PNNL for their contributions to areas that are crucial for the expansion of electric vehicles.
A research buoy managed by PNNL has been deployed in Hawai’ian waters, collecting oceanographic and meteorological measurements off the coast of O’ahu.
Research published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes demonstrates innovative single-step method to manufacture oxide dispersion strengthened copper materials from powder.
Developed at PNNL, Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, or ShAPE™, uses significantly less energy and can deliver components like wire, tubes and bars 10 times faster than conventional extrusion, with no sacrifice in quality.
