TL;DR: In this article, a novel concept of liquid metal centre conductor post for spherical tokamak reactors is proposed for spherical nuclear tokak reactors, where liquid metal Li inside the replaceable tube made of low activation materials (alloy, stainless steel etc.) coated by SiC is used as the medium carrying toroidal field coil current and removing Ohmic heat and nuclear heat in the center conductor post.

TL;DR: In this paper, a solar energy collection and storage system and a method of collecting and storing solar energy is presented, which includes a device for focusing solar energy onto a reaction chamber for the conversion of metal hydride to liquid metal and hydrogen.
Abstract: A solar energy collection and storage system and a method of collecting and storing solar energy. The system includes a device for focusing solar energy onto a reaction chamber for the conversion of metal hydride to liquid metal and hydrogen, a metal/metal hydride chamber containing a metal/metal hydride mixture, a hydrogen storage system using hydrides and a thermo-cline for recovering the thermal energy from the hydrogen when it is cooled from 2000 F to ambient conditions for storage.

TL;DR: A ternary hybrid battery system designed for a Li-ion-insertion-based cathode to deliver stable high capacity using a Na-K liquid anode to avoid dendrites and broadens the understanding of alkali metal alloys and hybrid-ion battery chemistry.
Abstract: The dendrite-free sodium-potassium (Na-K) liquid alloy composed of two alkali metals is one of the ideal alternatives for Li metal as an anode material while maintaining large capacity, low potential, and high abundance. However, Na- or K-ion batteries have limited cathode materials that can deliver stably large capacity. Combining advantages of both, a hybrid-cation liquid metal battery is designed for a Li-ion-insertion-based cathode to deliver stable high capacity using a Na-K liquid anode to avoid dendrites. The mechanical property of the Na-K alloy is confirmed by simulation and experimental characterization, which leads to stable cycling performance. The charge carrier selection principle in this ternary hybrid-cation system is investigated, showing consistency with the proposed interfacial layer formation and ion distribution mechanism for the electrochemical process as well as the good stability. With Li ions contributing stable cycling as the cathode charge carrier, the K ion working as charge carrier on the anode, and Na as the medium to liquefy K metal, such a ternary hybrid battery system not only inherits the rich battery chemistry of Li-insertion cathodes but also broadens the understanding of alkali metal alloys and hybrid-ion battery chemistry.
