Tesla's secret? A super expert, pioneer of lithium-ion batteries. What now he promises: I have their heirs, and they will last a lifetime.
A soft robot without processors, motors and batteries moves across different surfaces and crosses mazes using thermal energy.
Power sensors for home automation with simple pressure: the triboelectric approach could automate homes without using energy.
A major obstacle on the road to the transition to electric can be removed by a new method of recycling lithium batteries.
Amprius Technologies announced that its new silicon anode batteries have a quick charge of just 6 minutes.
A new technology both piezo and triboelectric is the basis of an innovative hearing aid that works without any battery.
Careful design allows for the "biomimetic" development of batteries inspired by snake scales. They will come in handy for wearable devices and soft robots.
The joint venture between the two giants has already produced 1,4 million batteries, and is preparing for a mission to conquer the markets.
The Harvard team derives a stable version of lithium metal battery: towards 10 minutes charged cars, which last longer than traditional ones
This will be the decade of fast battery charging. StoreDot factory produced one that reaches 100% in just five minutes.
Battery cost is still a crucial factor. A Bloomberg report gives us the dates of the "break-even" between the prices of electric and petrol cars.
Energy directly from soil bacteria with biological batteries? A house powered by the land on which it stands? Bioo aims for a turning point.
A new report from RethinkX analyzes the impact of an economy based entirely on renewables and SWB storage systems. In 10 years it would produce an unprecedented revolution.
Orange peel and citric acid to recover precious metals and recycle used batteries: an approach that combats both food waste and energy shortages.
A new process makes it possible to coat normal building bricks with PEDOT, a material that can turn bricks into batteries
Cheaper, environmentally friendly and also profitable: exhausted electric car batteries can live ten years longer after normal service by performing less demanding tasks.
A sort of adhesive mouse that covers the fingers and transforms them into a formidable almost invisible and non-invasive input device.
Aluminum (also from used cans) and non-polluting electrolytes. Every 2500km you change them in 90 seconds and they recycle. Aluminum-air batteries? A bomb.
Graphene batteries are 3 to 5 times faster than lithium-ion batteries, which take around 90 minutes to fully charge.
The "material" is evidently found in quantity, ready to be converted into energy. A research team led by Meriah Arias-Thode at the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific in San Diego has already begun experiments.
