Microsoft, US Lab Utilize AI to Expedite Discovery of Battery Materials With 70% Less Lithium

Microsoft has collaborated with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington, to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for the swift identification of a potential battery material that could reduce lithium requirements by 70%, the company announced on Tuesday. This groundbreaking development, focusing on replacing much of the lithium with sodium, a more abundant and…

(via COVID-Causing Virus in Air Detected with High-Tech Bubbles | PNNL)

A team of scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory created a new kind of micelle, one that is stamped on the surface with copies of an imprinted particle for SARS-CoV-2.

The team filled micelles with a salt capable of creating an electronic signal but that is quiescent when packed inside a micelle. When a viral particle interacts with one of the imprinted receptors on the surface, the micelle pops open, spilling the salt and sending out an electronic signal instantly.

...

The team estimates that the technology can pluck one viral particle out of billions of other particles. The detector is so sensitive that the team had a challenging time identifying the lower limit. The team used both inactivated SARS-CoV-2 viral particles and the virus’s spike protein in its tests.

While the technology detects the virus within a millisecond, the device takes an additional minute to run quality-control software to confirm the signal and prevent false alarms.
