A team of researchers at Stanford University, led by Yi Cui, has made a significant breakthrough in the development of ...

A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no less complex. It involves an intricate interplay of materials that influences an electric vehicle’s range, charging ...

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

It is at once imperative and urgent to develop batteries capable of storing large amounts of energy if we are to successfully transition to economies and civilizations that are fully powered by ...

Lithium-ion batteries are used not only for small consumer electronics like cell phones and laptops, but also electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and long-term power storage. Though rare, ...

I have been following Our Next Energy (ONE) as closely as possible after the company achieved something extraordinary. It made a Model S equipped with its Gemini battery pack run 752 miles (1,210 ...

Researchers demonstrate an anode-free design (i.e., zero-excess Zn), which is enabled by employing a nanocarbon nucleation layer. (© ACS) Aqueous zinc-based batteries have been previously explored for ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electricity is highly perishable. If not used at the moment it is ...

Battery start-up QuantumScape believes ditching the anode can unlock big improvements in EVs, but challenges persist. A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no ...
