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.
