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 New South Wales in Sydney, Australia are proposing the use of floating microgrids made up of electric boat motors, renewable energy, and controls to help power islands after disasters. “Powering […]
A team of researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed flexible high-performance sensors that can be applied to irregular or flexible surfaces such as clothing or skin. They developed a […]
NanoGraf Corporation – formerly SiNode Systems – has been awarded a $7.5 million technology development contract from The United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) for the commercialization of high-energy anode materials. USABC is a subsidiary […]
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a structural, rechargeable, zinc battery with a cartilage-like solid electrolyte that is resistant to damage. Structural batteries are currently being actively researched because of their multiple benefits, […]
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 […]
