Two glass scientists from Alfred University's School of Engineering, James Shelby, Ph.D., the McMahon Professor of ceramic engineering, and Matthew Hall, Ph.D., assistant professor of glass science, recently received a $2 million U.S. Department of Energy grant to develop new technology for a storage system for hydrogen to power a new generation of vehicles. The grant, one of only 10 awarded nationwide, is part of the $350 million Freedom Car program designed to put hydrogen-powered cars on the road by 2015. The researchers are proposing a system that would encapsulate hydrogen at 10,000 psi in microspheres, which are tiny glass beads that have a 50-micron diameter.
