16. Innovations in nanomaterials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Abstract : Hydrogen technologies are rapidly receiving increased attention as it offers a renewable energy alternative to the current petroleum-based fuel infrastructure, considering that continued large-scale use of such fossil fuels will lead to disastrous impacts on our environment. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell should play a significant role in a hydrogen economy since it enables convenient and direct conversion of hydrogen into electricity, thus allowing the use of hydrogen in applications particularly suited for the transportation industry.

17. Assessment of optical coherence tomography for metrology applications in high-scattering ceramic materials
Abstract : Large-scale and cost-effective manufacturing of ceramic micro devices based on tape stacking requires the development of inspection systems to perform high-resolution in-process quality control of embedded manufactured cavities, metal structures and defects.In this work, alumina ceramic samples are evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) operating at 1.

18. Material Constraints on Technology Evolution: The Case of Scarce Metals and Emerging Energy Technologies
Abstract : A radical transformation of the energy system in the 21st century will require a large-scale diffusion of a range of new energy technologies. Thin-film solar photovoltaics (PV) and battery-electric vehicles have been suggested as possible major components of a more sustainable energy system. READ MORE

19. On the Convective-Scale Predictability of the Atmosphere
Abstract : A well-represented description of convection in weather and climate models is essential since convective clouds strongly influence the climate system. Convective processes interact with radiation, redistribute sensible and latent heat and momentum, and impact hydrological processes through precipitation. READ MORE

20. The Representation of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes in Global Climate Models
Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer is the lowest part of the atmosphere, which is in direct contact with the surface. It is here, in this turbulent layer, that the exchange of heat, moisture and momentum between the surface and the atmosphere takes place. READ MORE
