Researchers at Ames Laboratory have designed and built an advanced model system that successfully uses very small quantities of magnetocaloric materials to achieve refrigeration level cooling. The development marks an important step in creating new technologies to replace 100-year-old gas compression refrigeration with solid-state systems up to 30 percent more energy efficient.
CMI researchers created gel beads with special bacteria that can absorb critical materials from electronic waste. This is a next step from earlier research where CMI researchers developed bacteria that can select rare earth elements.
American Manganese announced that its independent contract lab, Kemetco Research, has begun testing cathode material from disassembled electric vehicle battery packs supplied by a Critical Materials Institute (CMI) Team Member.
Ames Laboratory's outreach programs are designed to provide promote STEM education and career opportunities to Iowa children grades K-12.
Community College Internship Technical Projects
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released Ames Laboratory’s Performance Evaluation Report Card for FY 2019, and the Laboratory received its highest ratings ever, and continues for the third year in a row to exceed expectations in a majority of the key performance areas measured.
Visiting Faculty Program Research Projects
CMI research based at Idaho National Laboratory investigates unique materials that don’t behave like normal solids, liquids or gases and could displace toxic chemicals used in metal production processes.
