2025 TEM Workshop

The TEM Data Management Workshop will take place on August 26 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. MT, and will be held virtually on TEAMS. The primary goal of this workshop is to engage NSUF users and stakeholders in discussions about the data needs for the utilization of AI and ML in the analysis of TEM data. Key topics to be covered include data storage, data sharing, data tagging, metadata inclusion, standardized data formats, data augmentation, and annotated training datasets. Additionally, the workshop will provide valuable insights into resources such as the Nuclear Research Data System (NRDS) for data storage and sharing, as well as open-source codes for data analysis.

Taming Metal–Solid Electrolyte Interface Instability via Metal Strain Hardening

Abstract Solid-state lithium metal batteries have emerged as a promising technology for electric vehicles due to their high specific energy and safety potential. Obtaining intimate contact between Li and electrolyte during cell fabrication, however, remains challenging. Adequate fabrication pressure is required to promote close contact, but this pressure can cause Li deformation and penetration into the electrolyte, resulting in poor battery performance. Here, a strategy for addressing this problem is presented by incorporating 3 at% Mg into Li. Unlike pure Li which obeys the Voce hardening law and allows unconstrained deformation, Li–Mg alloy follows the Swift hardening law and strengthens with strain under compression stress. Because of the constrained deformation of Li–Mg, intimate contact with solid electrolytes is possible even at high fabrication pressure (50–65 MPa), resulting in high critical current densities. These findings underscore the importance of understanding Li metal deformation properties to improve solid-state battery performance.

Distributed Aperture Radar Tomographic Sensors (darts) to Map Surface Topography and Vegetation Structure

Distributed Aperture Radar Tomographic Sensors (DARTS)is a mission concept being studied at the NASA Jet PropulsionLaboratory in collaboration with the California Institute ofTechnology to enable global and repeated imaging of surfacetopography and three-dimensional vegetation structure usingsingle-pass tomographic SAR technique. The observing systemconsists of a distributed formation of multiple small syntheticaperture radar platforms deployed in space with variabledistances to achieve look angle diversity and sensitivityto the vertical distribution of vegetation components. Ourgoal is to identify the optimal system configuration startingfrom documented community needs and mature the criticaltechnologies that lead to a viable implementation of DARTS.Here, we provide an overview of DARTS and describe ourapproach for designing and demonstrating single-pass SARtomographic systems as part of an on-going funded NASA Instrument Incubator Program effort.

Relativistic Hydrodynamics with Wavelets

Methods to solve the relativistic hydrodynamic equations are important in a large number of astrophysical simulations, which may be very dynamic and involve multiscale features. This requires computational methods that are highly adaptive and capable of automatically resolving numerous localized features and instabilities that emerge across the computational domain and over many temporal scales. While this has been historically accomplished with adaptive-mesh-refinement-based methods, alternatives using wavelet bases and the wavelet transformation have recently achieved significant success in adaptive representation for advanced engineering applications. The current work presents a new method, extending the wavelet adaptive multiresolution representation method, for the integration of the relativistic hydrodynamic equations using iterated interpolating wavelets and introduces a highly adaptive implementation for multidimensional simulation. We note the wavelet coefficients provide a direct measure of the local approximation error for the solution and place collocation points that naturally adapt to the fluid flow while providing good conservation of fluid quantities. The resulting implementation, OAHU , is applied to a series of demanding 1D and 2D problems that explore high Lorentz factor outflows and the formation of several instabilities, including the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and the Rayleigh–Taylor instability.
