Ron is a member of the International Association of Hydrogen Energy, as well as of the American and European Physical Societies. Hydrogen, an environmentally benign energy alternative, is predicted to materialize beyond the year 2000, Nevertheless, the hydrogen technology is of current scientific and technological interest.
Metal hydrides provide a means for safe, high-volume density hydrogen energy storage.
High pressure diagnostic systems based on data acquisition by computers were built. Structural and analytical studies by SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction as well as Auger spectroscopy are employed. M.
