Interaction Mechanisms
Underlying Science Capabilities: PNNL's capabilities for identifying, exploiting, and optimizing Sensing/Interaction Mechanisms to meet specific application requirements rely on and are greatly enhanced by the existence of strong laboratory capabilities in underlying science areas including Material Science, Chemical Science, Biological Science, and Physical Science. These complimentary science capabilities are the result of significant work for government and other sponsors. Significant intellectual (e.g., staff with specialized skills), equipment, and facility resources are in place to support this work. These capabilities can be drawn upon as-needed to meet sensor development project requirements.
Material Sciences capabilities most pertinent for Macro-Property measurement development include:
- Specialized Transducer Materials
