A research team led by Professor Thomas Nann, of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology at Victoria University in New Zealand, has created a new electrolyte – one of several key parts in […]
Researchers at Penn State have developed a three-dimensional, cross-linked polymer sponge that attaches to the metal plating of a battery anode in order to create longer-lasting, faster-charging, and safer lithium metal batteries. The work was […]
14 members of the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC) are partnering with Electric Applications to address lead battery technology. The new agreement was signed with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. The […]
Researchers led by Professor Kim Hee-Tak at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea have developed a lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery with a a doughnut-shaped active material structure that remains functional […]
A new research project focusing on technology to develop lightweight vehicles will be led by Professor Ken Kendall from the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), a department at the University of Warwick, UK. The project – […]
Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Rochester, NY have developed a practical and inexpensive method of preventing fires in damaged or improperly packaged lithium-ion batteries. “In a lithium-ion battery, a […]
Dr. Jan Schnitker has co-founded a startup called ‘Is It Fresh’ – a spin-off from the Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH – to introduce smart, low-cost chip and sensor technology into the world of packaging. ‘Is It […]
Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have developed a flexible quadcopter drone. Unlike other drones which are based on the principles of origami, these quadcopters were also inspired by the […]
Researchers at MIT have developed microscopic chemical sensors that can be sprayed as an aerosol mist. Spray-able sensors could someday be used to detect gas leaks, pollution from power plants, volatile organic compounds, and other […]
The Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam – home to the Dutch national football team AFC Ajax – is demonstrating the potential use of second-life batteries. Second-life batteries have been removed after a first life in […]
