When it comes to increasing electric storage efficiency and electric breakdown strength — the ability of an electrical system to operate at higher voltage and temperatures with great efficiency — increasing one traditionally has led to a decrease in the other. Penn State researchers, led by Qiming Zhang, distinguished professor of electrical engineering, recently developed a scalable method that relies on engineered materials to increase both properties.
A team of researchers from Penn State and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) developed software that’s being used by engineers and scientists around the world to make advances in materials modeling, space technology development and data science.
