About

The Hydrogen in Energy and Information Sciences (HEISs) is an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the Department of Energy and represents a  broad-based effort to address fundamental questions of hydrogen incorporation and transport in solid-state materials. The multi-disciplinary team includes materials scientists, chemists, applied physicists, and nuclear engineers. By emphasizing fundamental mechanistic phenomena, HEISs will ensure accelerated, rational discovery of next-generation materials with tunable bulk transport dynamics and interfacial incorporation pathways. The latter will lay the foundation for high-performance protonic devices that achieve targeted electrochemical transformations in energy applications and material response functions for information processing.
