Technology Transfer

The USDOE Ames Laboratory is committed to developing and transferring technologies. Each year over the past decade, it has generated an average of 10 patents from DOE-supported research, and enters into about five technology license agreements and/or options. Collaborations between industry and the Ames Laboratory can help both parties meet their common technological objectives, while reducing development costs and risks.

Nondestructive Evaluation

At the forefront of research efforts to develop in-service flaw detection techniques for forecasting lifetimes under varied service conditions, scientists in this program are working with government and industry to meet world needs for reliability in manufacturing materials and structures. Research initiatives include the development of the Magnescope, a device that measures a material's magnetic properties to assess damage and potential for failure from destructive mechanisms such as fatigue and corrosion.

Simulation, Modeling & Decision Science

 

The Simulation, Modeling, and Decision Science program (SMDS) at Ames Laboratory focuses on the development of the computational tools, algorithms, understandings, and strategies needed to analyze, understand, create, design, and build complex engineered, natural, or human systems.

The program's major projects include:
