Multi-disciplinary strategy increases efficiencies, accelerates discovery

In the ASL model, scientists from across disciplines join forces to solve energy-related issues for clients in two broad categories:

• Industries striving to remain competitive
• Federal agencies confronting energy security challenges

Our search for new, energy-related technologies and applications integrates computing and fundamental theory with lab-based research.

Using modeling techniques, ASL computer scientists can quickly:

• Identify potential new technologies
• Eliminate unlikely candidates

With that information as a starting point, our physical scientists take the problem into the lab.

The net effect: A reduction in costly and time-consuming lab time.

Areas under active investigation

We are actively exploring such technologies as:

• Hydrogen Storage Materials
• Fuel Cell Materials
• Solar Cells
