Solid-state sodium-ion batteries are far safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which pose a risk of fire and explosions, but their performance has been too weak to offset the safety... Read more
Industrial forecasts predict an insatiable need for battery farms to store renewable energy like solar and wind. Lithium ion batteries may remain tops for sheer performance, but when cost-pe... Read more
The first prototype of a sodium-ion battery has just been revealed by the RS2E, a French network bringing together researchers and industrial actors. This technology, inspired by the lithium... Read more
Engineer brings new twist to sodium ion battery technology with discovery of flexible molybdenum disulfide electrodes Gurpreet Singh, assistant professor of mechanical and nuclear engineerin... Read more
Prototype batteries that dissolve safely in the body could power ingested devices. Batteries made from pigments found in cuttlefish ink may lead to edible, dissolvable power sources for new... Read more
Taking inspiration from trees, scientists have developed a battery made from a sliver of wood coated with tin that shows promise for becoming a tiny, long-lasting, efficient and environmenta... Read more
The two cutting-edge researchers have combined forces to develop edible electronic devices — no larger than ordinary pills — to improve medical care. Stimulating damaged tissue, bio-sensing... Read more
It seems that sugar may be the missing ingredient for building rechargeable batteries that are more robust, cheaper, and capable of storing more energy. Researchers at the Tokyo University o... Read more
Murdoch University researchers have come up with a potential solution to one of sustainable energy’s greatest challenges: power storage for use in non-generation times. According to project... Read more
