Solid-state battery technology company Ilika PLC has entered into a demonstration project to deploy its Stereax M250 batteries to power an autonomous wireless sensor for environmental sensing and asset tracking. Ilika will be collaborating with […]
The Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick (UL) will be leading a €8m EU (~$9m USD)-funded research project called Si-DRIVE to develop battery technology for higher-performance EVs. The project will focus on the sustainability […]
South Korea’s Navy will use lithium-ion batteries in its newest submarines, claiming they can double the operational hours compared to those using lead-acid batteries. The lithium-ion batteries were created by five research bodies and six […]
Researchers at the Australian Defense Science and Technology Group are investigating the potential of using drones to inspect subsurface damage in composite aircraft materials. Composites materials are increasingly used in aircraft construction as they possess […]
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee have demonstrated a wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging system that transfers 120 kW of power with a 97% efficiency – […]
Researchers from the Green IC research group at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have invented a low-cost battery-less wake-up timer that significantly reduces power consumption of silicon chips for Internet of Things (IoT) sensor […]
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 […]
