UEB Band (IMAGE) DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Caption Argonne scientists are combining existing theories to form a more general theory of electrochemistry that predicts unexplained behavior. To do this, the researchers first studied alpha manganese oxide (shown here). Testing of this material and others is helping to predict material behavior as well as inform which changes could improve its performance.
