Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences researchers have demonstrated a new organic molecule that outlives and outperforms its predecessors, offering the longest-lasting high-performance organic flow battery to date. Nicknamed the Methuselah quinone – after the longest-lived Biblical figure – this molecule could usefully store and release energy many tens of thousands […]

University of Alberta scientists have created the most dense, solid-state memory in history that could soon exceed the capabilities of current hard drives by 1,000 times. The new technique leads to the densest solid-state memory ever created. Roshan Achal, PhD student in Department of Physics and lead author on the new research said, “Essentially, you […]

Understanding Found On Unstable Fusion Plasma
July 24, 2018 | Leave a Comment
The Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has published an article describing a simulation of the mechanism that eliminates sawtooth instabilities in fusion plasmas. Sawtooth swings, the up-and-down ripples found in everything from stock prices on Wall Street to ocean waves, occur periodically in the temperature and density of the plasma that fuels fusion […]

Daring Attempt For a Better Lithium Battery
July 19, 2018 | 3 Comments
University of Maryland researchers have figured out how to increase a rechargeable battery’s capacity by using aggressive electrodes. They stabilizing these potentially dangerous electrode materials with a highly-fluorinated electrolyte. The success of electric car batteries depends on the miles that can be driven on a single charge, but the current crop of lithium-ion batteries are […]
