  • batteries store more energy per mass (specific energy) and per volume (energy density) than Li-ion batteries, but cannot discharge that energy as quickly as modern electronics need because metal anodes oxidize too slowly. We hypothesize that the specific power of metal-air batteries, as a class, would increase if the electrochemically accessible interfacial areas of metal anodes were greatly increased by supporting the redox-active metal component on nanostructured, porous current collectors. In such a

  • news! Fulbright Fellowships have become a PLU hallmark as between 1975 and 2009, 80 students had been named U.S. Student Fulbright Fellows.

  • Association. He didn’t know about the Thorniley Collection until it came to PLU. Upon further research, Tribby said he’s excited to see it go to such a well respected printing arts program for regular use by the public, as opposed to sitting in cases at a museum. “To be able to see the actual artifacts from that era when they were created, and not a modern reproduction, that’s interesting,” Tribby said. Robinson hopes the major donation will attract others, including funds that could lead to a newer

(Video by Rustin Dwyer, PLU) “We got there on a Sunday morning in January and everything was closed,” Allison recalled with a chuckle, side-eying her now husband about his idea to jaunt away from the group to Wiesbaden, Germany. “Everyone else had a good time in Frankfurt,” Sam quipped in response.
