Mechanical engineering assistant professor, Todd Kingston, and associate professor, Cary Pint, have been selected to receive the Research Award, Announcement #NH23ZHA001C, from NASA EPSCoR with total support nearing $1,000,000.

The research project being conducted over a three-year period will investigate the fundamental processes in lithium-ion batteries during extreme thermal conditions, such as freeze-thaw cycles often encountered by spacecraft during lunar and Martian exploration. During the duration of the project, a new state-of-the-art shared battery fabrication and testing facility, which will be utilized to identify the underlying mechanisms of battery degradation and failure during thermal cycles, will be established in the Iowa State University Department of Mechanical Engineering.
