Engineering a Custom Instrument to Advance Battery Technology

Andrew Dopilka, a research scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Energy Technology Area, pours molten material into the twin roller quencher, a device custom-made for his research by the Engineering Small Projects Support Group. The device quickly cools the material, leading to the creation of amorphous solids that will be used to help advance battery technology. (Credit: Thor Swift, Berkeley Lab)

The Twin Roller Quencher: a custom device to help advance battery technology

Red-hot glowing molten material is poured into a device and rapidly cooled between two metal rollers to quickly lower its temperature. The words, "Engineering a custom device to help advance battery technology," appear in the upper right corner.

Made in Berkeley Lab: Revealing the Secret Miniature World of Wire Bonding

An image sensor and two custom readout chips for the VeryFastCCD project. These components were designed at Berkeley Lab and wire bonded together in the Engineering Division. The unusual design of these pieces means that the sensor is wire bonded directly to the readout chips on both sides rather than the more traditional method of being bonded to the printed circuit board.
