Battery tech startup NanoGraf – formerly known as SiNode Systems – has received a $1.65 million SBIR grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop longer-lasting batteries that will provide better portable power for […]
Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (NSWC Crane) Division and Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic) have partnered to search for new technologies in support of the Naval Integration in Contested Environments (NICE) Advanced Naval […]
DARPA has launched the Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon (AISS) program – a four-year project seeking ways to design security features into microchips as they are being manufactured. AISS aims to automate the process of […]
Researchers at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) have developed a lightweight fuel tank for small-scale satellites. MiniTANK is a joint effort involving the AMRC and Oxford-based Added Value Solutions (AVS) UK […]
Researchers at Binghamton University have designed a biosolar cell that generates electricity using two types of bacteria: one is photosynthetic and the other uses the nutrients it creates. This symbiotic relationship can provide a four-day […]
Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have developed a proton battery based on abundant organic materials. Though lithium-ion batteries are expected to remain the favored solution for energy storage, the potential for alternate battery types […]
Researchers from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) in Russia have created a new cathode material based on titanium fluoride phosphate which has achieved superior energy performance and stable operation at high […]
The European Commission has approved €3.2B (~$3.5B US) of state aid to help fund new research and innovation in battery technology. The entire project is expected to be completed in 2031 and is expected to […]
Researchers at Iowa State University and the University of California at Berkeley have developed new nanoscale sensing technology to image and measure the stresses and strains on materials under high pressures. Their paper, “imaging stress […]
Researchers at the University of Colorado are developing low-cost, high-performance, aqueous flow battery technology that potentially will lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy. They use chromium – which is abundant in […]
