Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and General Motors` AC Rochester Division formed an agreement to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides from automobiles by developing a fiber-optic pressure sensor integrated into a spark plug and a new spark plug material with improved thermal conductivity and anti-fouling characteristics. These improvements will help the US auto industry`s global competitiveness by improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions. The reconfigured DOE Complex will benefit from enhanced process control by meeting safety requirements that limit worker exposure to chemicals and radiation in automated facilities
