Atomic Layer Deposition for Metal Anode Passivation
Published Wednesday, November 11, 2015Background:Lithium metal is of great interest to the battery community: as the lightest and most electropositive alkali metal, Li has a low density, resulting in an extremely high specific capacity value of 3.86Ah/g and energy density of 11,701Wh/kg, making it the holy grail of battery anodes. Other light metals – Na, Mg, and Al – have...

Audio Camera for Efficient Sound Localization
Published Thursday, March 6, 2008Much as an optical camera creates images from captured light intensity to create a real time picture, an audio camera developed by researchers at the University of Maryland creates a “real time” audio image out of sound arriving from all directions to a specific point – the location of the camera. The audio images can be projected onto a...

Automated evaluation of surgeon technical performance
Published Wednesday, November 15, 2017The technical skills of a surgical resident are typically evaluated by experienced mentors during training. However, this process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and may involve evaluator biases. In an effort to standardize such technical evaluations, UMB researchers developed an automated, sensor-free...
