Popularizing Energy Materials In 3D

1. Popularizing Energy Materials In 3D Scott A. Barnett, Northwestern University, DMR 0542740 • For the past several years, we have been improving our knowledge of ceramic fuel cells through the use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging methods. Besides providing useful quantitative data, the images themselves can be quite interesting and compelling. • One of our graduate students, Scott Cronin, has developed the ability to show the 3D images in a format where they appear to the eye as 3D objects (using appropriate glasses). The image/movie above shows an example of a fuel cell anode that can be viewed as 3D. We believe that such images are valuable to generate interest in the public and K-12 students.
