We have broken the exascale barrier once again! The Aurora supercomputer hosted by Argonne National Laboratory joins Frontier hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory to take the top 2 spots on the Top500 list of high performance computers. These powerful systems are pushing forward scientific discovery: https://lnkd.in/gV8u9pGz
The U.S. Department of Energy has been investing in fusion for decades through the Office of Science (SC) Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program to establish the scientific foundations for a fusion energy source. Recently, DOE Under Secretary for Science and Innovation Dr. Geri Richmond joined U.S. Representative Rick Larsen, the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Rian Bahran, Ph.D. and Jonathan Barr, plus several of the nation's leading experts in fusion, including Drs. Jean Paul Allain, Scott Hsu, Tammy Ma (LLNL), Matthew Gomez (SNL), and Thomas Weber (LANL) for a tour of Zap Energy's integrated systems development and fusion facilities in Everett, Washington. The visit highlighted Zap being a former ARPA-E awardee and one of the awardees of the new Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program – an innovative new public-private partnership that brings together privately funded fusion companies and our national laboratories and universities to resolve key scientific and technological challenges that must be overcome to realize preliminary engineering designs for fusion pilot plants. Fusion has the potential to generate primary energy with no carbon emissions that could be used to generate electricity, as well as to power hydrogen production, industrial processes, carbon capture, desalination, and more. DOE is committed to bridging fundamental fusion research with applied research and the needs of the growing U.S. fusion industry, supporting the U.S. Bold Decadal Vision for Commercial Fusion Energy and as described in the DOE Fusion Energy Strategy 2024 and the FES Building Bridges vision document. https://lnkd.in/gr3HUPtP
This week, Under Secretary Richmond cut the ribbon at the new Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, funded by Office of Electricity . The 93,000 square foot space is a $75 million national grid energy storage R&D facility that will accelerate the development of safer, more cost effective, and more durable next-generation grid energy storage technologies. #GSL will achieve this through standardized testing and validation of technologies from basic materials to 100 kW-scale battery systems for grid and transportation applications. In addition to grid-scale energy storage, researchers at GSL can also develop, test, and scale smaller prototype batteries, such as coin cells, pouch batteries, and prism batteries to improve understanding of battery performance and provide commercial-scale insights. Congratulations to the Office of Electricity , #PNNL, and everyone who made this project a success!
Last week, Under Secretary Richmond kicked off U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s 4th Annual Energy Storage Grand Challenge! More than 170 individuals from the energy storage community came together to explore pathways to grid-scale energy storage that can meet the needs of our nation now and in the future. At the event, the Under Secretary announced several DOE funding opportunities: DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations Notice of Intent to fund pilot-scale energy demonstration projects: https://lnkd.in/eMgfbm5j Office of Electricity Critical Facility Energy Resilience demonstration projects to deploy storage technologies: https://lnkd.in/gi32s65E Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office plans to announce a prize to accelerate market adoption for cost-effective thermal energy storage concepts
Under Secretary Richmond, Deputy Under Secretary Derek Passarelli and #FECM Assistant Secretary Brad Crabtree visited National Energy Technology Laboratory in Albany two weeks ago. NETL's new, state-of-the-art Advanced Alloys Signature Center is helping to drive the development of next-generation, high-performance materials needed to generate affordable, clean electricity that will support growth in emerging U.S. industries.

3moRon - I drool at the possibilities for vulnerability threat hunting with this capability. Knowing every possible option for exploitation allows us to change the way we look at Vulnerability Management. Got a Promo Code for some stick time? 🙂
