Supporting STEM Education in Northern New Mexico
A conversation with Dr. Yu Seung Kim about the latest innovations in fuel-cell research at Los Alamos.
Fuel-cell research has been a hot topic at Los Alamos since the 1970s. Today, with solutions to energy-security challenges a key component of the Lab's global security mission, scientists continue to search for novel solutions to current fuel-cell limitations. One solution proposed by Dr. Yu Seung Kim of the Lab’s Materials Synthesis and Integrated Devices group is fuel cells designed with an ion-pair coordinated polymer membrane. This new design will increase the range of temperatures a fuel-cell can reliably function in, as well as increase the power of vehicles.
The Bradbury Science Museum Association supports and inspires learners of all ages in Northern New Mexico and beyond through STEM Education.
