Considering the Case for Hydrogen Home Heating

Dean Alexis Abramson is author of an opinion piece about the potential of using hydrogen for heating buildings. "The remarkable rise in electrification in recent years is a testament to America's commitment to the clean energy transition. Electric heat pumps powered by clean electricity will play a significant role in decarbonization of the grid, but they are not, alone, a viable solution everywhere," Abramson said.

Silicon for the Quantum Defect Era

Research associates Yihuang Xiong and Jiongzhi Zheng, PhD student Shay McBride, and Professor Geoffroy Hautier are co-authors of "Computationally Driven Discovery of T Center-like Quantum Defects in Silicon" published in Journal of the American Chemical Society. "Finding new 'quantum defects' facilitates bringing quantum technologies to real world scalable technologies." says Hautier. Adds Xiong, "Our study identifies several silicon defects that were overlooked before the quantum defect era and proposes high-yield synthesis routes."
