Unconventional polaronic ground state in superconducting LiTi 2 O 4

Geometrically frustrated lattices can display a range of correlated phenomena, ranging from spin frustration and charge order to dispersionless flat bands due to quantum interference. One particularly compelling family of such materials is the half-valence spinel LiB 2 O 4 materials. On the B-site frustrated pyrochlore sublattice, the interplay of correlated metallic behavior and charge frustration leads to a superconducting state in LiTi 2 O 4 and heavy fermion behavior in LiV 2 O 4 . To date, however, LiTi 2 O 4 has primarily been understood as a conventional BCS superconductor despite a lattice structure that could host more exotic ground states. Here, we present a multimodal investigation of LiTi 2 O 4 , combining ARPES, RIXS, proximate magnetic probes, and ab-initio many-body theoretical calculations. Our data reveals a novel mobile polaronic ground state with spectroscopic signatures that underlie co-dominant electron-phonon coupling and electron-electron correlations also found in the lightly doped cuprates. The cooperation between the two interaction scales distinguishes LiTi 2 O 4 from other superconducting titanates, suggesting an unconventional origin to superconductivity in LiTi 2 O 4 . Our work deepens our understanding of the rare interplay of electron-electron correlations and electron-phonon coupling in unconventional superconducting systems. In particular, our work identifies the geometrically frustrated, mixed-valence spinel family as an under-explored platform for discovering unconventional, correlated ground states.

New Orthophoto Generation Strategies from UAV and Ground Remote Sensing Platforms for High-Throughput Phenotyping

Remote sensing platforms have become an effective data acquisition tool for digital agriculture. Imaging sensors onboard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and tractors are providing unprecedented high-geometric-resolution data for several crop phenotyping activities (e.g., canopy cover estimation, plant localization, and flowering date identification). Among potential products, orthophotos play an important role in agricultural management. Traditional orthophoto generation strategies suffer from several artifacts (e.g., double mapping, excessive pixilation, and seamline distortions). The above problems are more pronounced when dealing with mid- to late-season imagery, which is often used for establishing flowering date (e.g., tassel and panicle detection for maize and sorghum crops, respectively). In response to these challenges, this paper introduces new strategies for generating orthophotos that are conducive to the straightforward detection of tassels and panicles. The orthophoto generation strategies are valid for both frame and push-broom imaging systems. The target function of these strategies is striking a balance between the improved visual appearance of tassels/panicles and their geolocation accuracy. The new strategies are based on generating a smooth digital surface model (DSM) that maintains the geolocation quality along the plant rows while reducing double mapping and pixilation artifacts. Moreover, seamline control strategies are applied to avoid having seamline distortions at locations where the tassels and panicles are expected. The quality of generated orthophotos is evaluated through visual inspection as well as quantitative assessment of the degree of similarity between the generated orthophotos and original images. Several experimental results from both UAV and ground platforms show that the proposed strategies do improve the visual quality of derived orthophotos while maintaining the geolocation accuracy at tassel/panicle locations.

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to Extend Catalyst Lifetime for Biobased Adipic Acid Production

Robust heterogeneous catalysts are essential for enabling biomass conversion; however, harsh reaction environments introduce durability challenges for many conventional catalyst materials [1]. The hydrogenation of biobased muconic acid to adipic acid is one such emerging chemistry that faces PGM catalyst stability challenges [2]. Muconic acid is a heavily-investigated biobased platform chemical that can be converted into an array of large-market commodity chemicals [2]. PGM catalysts are exceptionally effective for muconic acid hydrogenation to adipic acid, with Pd the most active to date. [2] However, Pd leaches in an acidic environment and this chemistry has a high propensity for fouling. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is one such material design strategy that has emerged to stabilize supported metal catalysts [3]. ALD coatings are theorized to stabilize supported metal active sites by i) covering high-energy facets most susceptible to degradation, ii) disrupting the physical mobility of active sites, and iii) reinforcing the structure of the underlying catalyst support [3]. However, ALD coatings for catalyst durability with carboxylic acids remains an underdeveloped area of research and literature reports have yet to consider the techno-economic tradeoffs between the ALD manufacturing cost and catalyst lifetime productivity. This study examines low-cycle Al2O3 ALD coatings to stabilize Pd/TiO2 against deactivation during muconic acid hydrogenation. The unique harshness of muconic acid for Pd leaching was evaluated by both experiment and computation. Based on batch reactor screening results, uncoated and ALD coated catalysts were evaluated in a continuous flow reactor for their productivity, stability, and post-reaction regenerability at 700 degrees C. Characterization was performed to assess the impact of ALD coatings on catalyst morphology, as well as following regeneration. Finally, techno-economic analysis models evaluated the value proposition for ALD-coated catalysts within an nth-generation adipic acid biorefinery.

Harnessing the Power of AI: Status and Expansion of Current Domestic Transport Security Through Flexible Embedded Hardware

As applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to expand, there are increasing opportunities to leverage applied AI methodologies with mobile transportation focused embedded systems. Current applications of AI in transportation focus on a variety of areas, including fuel efficiency, safety, security, and other broad fields of optimization or detection. To leverage these AI workflows and methodologies in the field, teams must utilize complex embedded systems capable of implementing these AI-enabled algorithms in real-time. In this paper, we will investigate how these algorithms can be integrated into existing technologies leveraging vehicle data - such as the Controller Area Network Transport Security Tracking and Reporting Unit (C-STAR). The C-STAR technology is an embedded platform with onboard computation capable of running next generation algorithms in vehicle systems AI, such as preventative maintenance, driver authentication, and transport security. As deployed in the field, the C-STAR has a limited AI functionality –this paper will directly discuss how a device like C-STAR can be utilized and the advantages of integrating these new technologies. We will open with relevant background information and transportation projects that leverage AI, focusing specifically on those around transport security such as vehicle identification, anomaly detection, and deterrence. We will then extend this into potential opportunities and scaling for AI methodologies using platforms like the C-STAR. Finally, we will speak directly to the challenges of deploying AI-powered workflows, such as computing power needs, bandwidth, hallucinations, and other regulatory considerations.

Influence of Copper Composition on Cu 2 BaSn(S,Se) 4 Solution-Deposited Films and Photovoltaic Devices with Over 5% Efficiency

Cu 2 BaSn(S,Se) 4 is currently in the spotlight for prospective environmentally friendly, stable, thin-film solar cell application, with demonstrated device power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 5% for vacuum-deposited absorbers. As suggested by first-principles calculations, experimental studies involving related Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 and Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se) 2 absorbers prove that the detailed chemical composition typically plays a sensitive role in altering defects and electronic properties of these complicated compound semiconductors. Herein, the copper composition of Cu 2 BaSn(S,Se) 4 has been systematically modified, employing a solution-based deposition approach, to provide a more complete picture of the phase stability and optoelectronic property sensitivity for this material. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy show that phase purity is preserved over a film Cu content range of nominally 0.94 ≤ [Cu]/[Ba + Sn] ≤ 1.01. Terahertz spectroscopy and Hall effect measurements reveal that the majority carrier hole density of ~10 13 cm –3 and mobility (~5 cm 2 /V s), as well as the minority carrier lifetime (a bulk lifetime of 180 ps and a surface recombination velocity >106 cm/s), are nominally independent of Cu content. The champion PCEs exceed 4.7% for all copper compositions in the phase-pure region, with a record value of 5.1%, similar to the reported values for record vacuum-deposited devices. Furthermore, these results suggest that Cu 2 BaSn(S,Se) 4 films and solar cells (at the current performance level) may be less sensitive to Cu stoichiometry compared to kesterite materials and therefore may provide a more stable material platform to prepare thin-film solar cells.

Deeplasmid: deep learning accurately separates plasmids from bacterial chromosomes

Plasmids are mobile genetic elements that play a key role in microbial ecology and evolution by mediating horizontal transfer of important genes, such as antimicrobial resistance genes. Many microbial genomes have been sequenced by short read sequencers and have resulted in a mix of contigs that derive from plasmids or chromosomes. New tools that accurately identify plasmids are needed to elucidate new plasmid-borne genes of high biological importance. We have developed Deeplasmid, a deep learning tool for distinguishing plasmids from bacterial chromosomes based on the DNA sequence and its encoded biological data. It requires as input only assembled sequences generated by any sequencing platform and assembly algorithm and its runtime scales linearly with the number of assembled sequences. Deeplasmid achieves an AUC–ROC of over 89%, and it was more accurate than five other plasmid classification methods. Finally, as a proof of concept, we used Deeplasmid to predict new plasmids in the fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri ATCC 29473 that has no annotated plasmids. Deeplasmid predicted with high reliability that a long assembled contig is part of a plasmid. Using long read sequencing we indeed validated the existence of a 102 kb long plasmid, demonstrating Deeplasmid's ability to detect novel plasmids.

Manipulation of Hole Spin Transport in Germanium

Downscaling of the silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor technology is expected to reach a fundamental limit soon. A paradigm shift in computing is occurring. Spin field-effect transistors are considered a candidate architecture for next-generation microelectronics. Being able to leverage the existing infrastructure for silicon, a spin field-effect transistor technology based on group IV heterostructures will have unparalleled technical and economical advantages. For the same material platform reason, germanium hole quantum dots are also considered a competitive architecture for semiconductor-based quantum technology. In this project, we investigated several approaches to creating hole devices in germanium-based materials as well as injecting hole spins in such structures. We also explored the roles of hole injection in wet chemical etching of germanium. Our main results include the demonstration of germanium metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors operated at cryogenic temperatures, ohmic current-voltage characteristics in germanium/silicon-germanium heterostructures with ferromagnetic contacts at deep cryogenic temperatures and high magnetic fields, evaluation of the effects of surface preparation on carrier mobility in germanium/silicon- germanium heterostructures, and hole spin polarization through integrated permanent magnets. These results serve as essential components for fabricating next-generation germanium-based devices for microelectronics and quantum systems.

R&D GREET Battery Carbon Footprint Calculator

The Battery Carbon Footprint (CF) Calculator was developed to help U.S. battery manufacturers meet the carbon footprint reporting requirements of the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The calculator incorporates several major battery carbon footprint frameworks, including the Joint Research Centre's Rules for the Calculation of the Carbon Footprint of Electric Vehicle Batteries (CFB-EV), RECHARGE's Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules for High Specific Energy Rechargeable Batteries for Mobile Applications (PEFCR), the Catena-X Product Carbon Footprint Rulebook (CX-PCF Rules), Battery Pass's Battery Carbon Footprint: Rules for Calculating the Carbon Footprint of the "Distribution" and "End-of-Life and Recycling" Life Cycle Stages, the Global Battery Alliance's Greenhouse Gas Rulebook: Generic Rules, Version 2.1, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's draft Carbon Footprint Calculation Method for Automotive Batteries. The tool pairs these frameworks with foreground data from Argonne's R&D GREET models and integrates user-supplied background data covering battery manufacturing and supply chain activities. By bringing multiple international methodologies together in a single platform, the calculator enables manufacturers to evaluate product carbon footprints, improve data consistency, and prepare for evolving regulatory compliance and global market reporting requirements.

Quantum Networks: A New Platform for Aerospace

The ability to distribute entanglement between quantum nodes may unlock new capabilities in the future that include teleporting information across multinode networks, higher resolution detection via entangled sensor arrays, and measurements beyond the quantum limit enabled by networked atomic clocks. These new quantum networks also hold promise for the Aerospace community in areas such as deep space exploration, improved satellite communication, and synchronizing drone swarms. Although exciting, these applications are a long way off from providing a “real-world” benefit, as they have only been theoretically explored or demonstrated in small-scale experiments. An outstanding challenge is to identify near-term use cases for quantum networks; this may be an intriguing new area of interest for the aerospace community, as the quantum networking field would benefit from more multidisciplinary collaborations. This paper introduces quantum networking, discusses the difficulties in distributing entanglement within these networks, highlights recent progress toward this endeavor, and features two current case studies on mobile quantum nodes and an entangled clock network, both of which are relevant to the aerospace community.

Emergent Dimer-Model Topological Order and Quasiparticle Excitations in Liquid Crystals: Combinatorial Vortex Lattices

Liquid crystals have proven to provide a versatile experimental and theoretical platform for studying topological objects such as vortices, skyrmions, and hopfions. In parallel, in hard condensed matter physics, the concept of topological phases and topological order has been introduced in the context of spin liquids to investigate emergent phenomena like quantum Hall effects and high-temperature superconductivity. Here, we bridge these two seemingly disparate perspectives on topology in physics. Combining experiments and simulations, we show how topological defects in liquid crystals can be used as versatile building blocks to create complex, highly degenerate topological phases, which we refer to as “combinatorial vortex lattices” (CVLs). CVLs exhibit extensive residual entropy and support locally stable quasiparticle excitations in the form of charge-conserving topological monopoles, which can act as mobile information carriers and be linked via Dirac strings. CVLs can be rewritten and reconfigured on demand, endowed with various symmetries, and modified through laser-induced topological surgery—an essential capability for information storage and retrieval. We demonstrate experimentally the realization, stability, and precise optical manipulation of CVLs, thus opening new avenues for understanding and technologically exploiting higher-hierarchy topology in liquid crystals and other ordered media.

MZA: A Data Conversion Tool to Facilitate Software Development and Artificial Intelligence Research in Multidimensional Mass Spectrometry

Modern mass spectrometry-based workflows employing hybrid instrumentation and orthogonal separations collect multidimensional data, potentially allowing deeper understanding in omics studies through adoption of artificial intelligence methods. However, the large volume of these rich data challenges existing data storage and access technologies, therefore precluding informatics advancements. Here we present MZA™ (pronounced m-za), the mass-to-charge (m/z) generic data storage and access tool designed to facilitate software development and artificial intelligence research in multidimensional mass spectrometry measurements. Composed by a data conversion tool and a simple file structure based on the HDF5 format, MZA provides easy, cross-platform and efficient programmatic access to raw MS-data, enabling fast development of new tools in data science programming languages such as Python and R. The software executable and example Python and R scripts are freely available at https://github.com/PNNL-m-q/mza.

Molecular Hypernetworks for Exploration of Multi-Dimensional Metabolomics Data (Chyper)

Orthogonal separations of data from high-resolution mass spectrometry can provide insight into sample composition and help address the challenge of complete annotation of molecules in untargeted metabolomics. “Molecular networks” (MNs), as used, for example, in the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking platform, are an increasingly popular computational strategy for exploring and visualizing molecular relationships and improving annotation. MNs use graph representations to show the relationships between measured multidimensional data features. MNs also show promise for using network science algorithms to automatically identify targets for annotation candidates and to dereplicate features associated to a single molecular identity. However, more advanced methods may better represent the complexity present in samples. Our work aims to increase confidence in annotation propagation by extending molecular network methods to include “molecular hypernetworks” (MHNs), able to natively represent multiway relationships among observations supporting both human and analytical processing. In this paper we first introduce MHNs illustrated with simple examples, and demonstrate how to build them from liquid chromatography- and ion mobility spectrometry- separated MS data. We then describe a method to construct MHNs directly from existing MNs as their “clique reconstructions”, demonstrating their utility by comparing examples of previously published graph-based MNs to their respective MHNs.

Direct Laser Writing Crystal Polymorphs of Organic Semiconductors for Phase Change Electronics

The many diverse polymorphic behaviors observed in organic electronic materials offer opportunities to modulate electronic properties through reversibly switching crystal structures. Here, we access the prolific polymorphism observed in two-dimensional quinoidal terthiophene via laser writing to locally heat and direct the phase transitions. We access a metastable polymorph IV through rapid cooling and observe distinct symmetry as well as packing through grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). Using our open-source PolyChemPrint patterning platform, we direct laser heating to initiate the IV-I transition, switching the conductance by >2 orders of magnitude. Here, this is confirmed via a combination of GIXD and Raman spectroscopy. Finally, we demonstrate switching of transistor devices as well as discrete tuning of conductance via laser writing.

Enhanced Spatial Proteomics and Metabolomics from a Single Tissue Section Using MALDI-MSI and LCM-microPOTS Platforms

Spatially resolved mass spectrometry (MS)-based multi-omics workflows are becoming more utilized for revealing the complex biology that occurs within tissues. However, these approaches commonly require multiple independent tissue sections to analyze the metabolite and protein compositions of these samples. This poses a significant challenge in preserving cell- or region-specific molecular fidelity, as variations between tissue sections can compromise the accurate correlation of molecular data. Here, in this study, we developed workflows for comprehensive multi-omics profiling from a single tissue section (STS) using different MS modalities. We enhanced the functionality of an electrically insulated substrate by employing metal-assisted approaches that enabled both MS-based untargeted spatial metabolomics and proteomics from STS. This allowed metabolite imaging using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-MS imaging (MALDI-MSI), without compromising it for subsequent proteome profiling with laser capture microdissection (LCM)-based technology. Specifically, implementing copper tape as a backing for polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) slides enabled the detection of >140 metabolites across a poplar root tissue section using MALDI-trapped ion mobility spectrometry time of flight (timsTOF)-MS. Afterwards, we detected 6,571 unique proteins from two distinct root regions by leveraging LCM technology coupled to our microdroplet based sample preparation approach. We also developed an alternative workflow utilizing gold-coated PEN substrates for imaging with MALDI-Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)-MS, which permitted the profiling of >170 metabolites and the identification of 6,542 unique proteins across a single poplar root tissue section. These results were comparable to using each assay independently without modifications. These approaches offer new opportunities for high-resolution molecular profiling of multiple omics-levels across biological tissues.

MHNs also promise to increase confidence in annotation propagation, for both human and analytical processing. We first illustrate MHNs with simple examples, and build them from liquid chromatography- and ion mobility spectrometry-separated MS data. We then describe a method to construct MHNs directly from existing MNs as their “clique reconstructions”, demonstrating their utility by comparing examples of previously published graph-based MNs to their respective MHNs.

Experimental Realization of One-Dimensional Helium

Abstract As the spatial dimension is lowered, locally stabilizing interactions are reduced, leading to the emergence of strongly fluctuating phases of matter without classical analogues. Realizing 1D platforms has been elusive, due to their inherent lack of stability, with a few notable exceptions such as spin chains and ultracold low-density gasses. The inability of such systems to exhibit long range order is essential to their universal description in terms of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory. Here we report on the experimental observation of a one-dimensional quantum liquid of $$^4$$ 4 He using nanoengineering to confine it within a porous material preplated with a noble gas to enhance dimensional reduction. The resulting excitations of the confined $$^4$$ 4 He, confirmed by neutron scattering, are qualitatively different than three- and two-dimensional superfluid helium, and consistent with Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The results can be analyzed in terms of a mobile impurity in an otherwise linear Luttinger liquid allowing for the extraction of the microscopic parameters describing the emergent quantum liquid.

Highly Resolved Projections of Passenger Electric Vehicle Charging Loads for the Contiguous United States: Results From and Methods Behind Bottom-Up Simulations of County-Specific Household Electric Vehicle Charging Load (Hourly 8760) Profiles Projected Through 2050 for Differentiated Household and Vehicle Types

This report documents enhancements made to the TEMPO (Transportation Energy & Mobility Pathway Options TM ) model to project spatially, demographically, and temporally resolved national-scale EV charging load profiles and describes three scenarios and corresponding datasets created for the NREL demand-side grid (dsgrid) project in support of bulk power systems modeling. In brief, TEMPO was enhanced to disaggregate national and annual energy demand projections into household and county-level projections of passenger electric vehicle (EV) hourly charging load profiles (8760 profiles), accounting for consumer, travel, and temperature variations that impact EV energy demand. In alignment with NREL's forward-looking grid modeling, three scenarios for EV adoption covering 2020-2050 were created-- Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) Reference Case, Electrification Futures Study (EFS) High Electrification, and All EV Sales by 2035 --and associated datasets have been included in the dsgrid platform for public use.
