Department of Energy Announces CABLE Conductor Manufacturing Prize Winners
Today, in celebration of National Nanotechnology Day, the U.S. Department of Energy announced Stage 1 winners of the Conductivity-enhanced materials for Affordable, Breakthrough Leapfrog Electric and thermal applications (CABLE) Conductor Manufacturing Prize. Ten teams selected in Stage 1 of this $4.5 million, three-stage competition will work to develop affordable, manufacturable materials that conduct electricity more efficiently and upgrade our manufacturing and transportation infrastructures.
“Electrifying energy-intensive sectors will be critical to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and build our clean energy economy,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Kelly Speakes-Backman. “The CABLE Prize is supercharging the development of the novel materials that will power everything from our grid to electric cars to smartphones with clean energy.”
