A Battery Could Be Part of a Cars Structure

March 31, 2021 | 1 Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Chalmers University of Technology researchers have produced a structural battery that performs ten times better than all previous versions. It contains carbon fiber that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor, and load-bearing material. Their latest research breakthrough may open a pathway for essentially ‘massless’ energy storage in vehicles and other technology. The batteries in […]

Way Found to Increase Fuel Cell Efficiency

March 30, 2021 | 1 Comment

A Pohang University of Science & Technology research team revealed the phase transition and metal ex-solution phenomena to increase the catalytic activity in fuel cells. Fuel cells, which are attracting attention as an eco-friendly energy source, obtain electricity and heat simultaneously through the reverse reaction of water electrolysis. So, the catalyst that enhances the reaction […]

Perhaps Faster Than Light Speed Travel Will Be Possible

March 25, 2021 | 2 Comments

If travel to distant stars within an individual’s lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. So far, even recent research about faster-than-light transport based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity would require vast amounts of hypothetical particles and states of matter that have ‘exotic’ physical properties […]

Keeping The Dendrites Out Of Lithium Batteries

March 23, 2021 | 1 Comment

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher’s new approach could help solve the longstanding problem of dendrite formation, which has hampered the development of new solid-state lithium-ion batteries. As researchers push the boundaries of battery design, seeking to pack ever greater amounts of power and energy into a given amount of space or weight, one of the […]
