A Breakout Path to a Better Safer Lithium Ion Battery
December 13, 2012 | 5 Comments
Chemists from The City College of New York teamed with researchers from Rice University and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to develop a non-toxic and environmentally sustainable lithium-ion battery. The idea is to avoid battery manufacturing based on finite supplies of mined metal ores, such as cobalt and replace them with much less costly and […]

Combining Graphene and Nanotubes for Electrodes
November 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Rice University chemist James Tour led his researchers to successfully growing forests of carbon nanotubes that rise quickly from sheets of graphene to astonishing lengths of up to 120 microns forming a single surface with three dimensions. The seamless graphene/nanotube hybrid creation may be the best electrode interface material possible for many energy storage and […]

Focus Fusion Shoots Five In A Row
December 2, 2011 | 1 Comment
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics has announced that their lab device FF-1 has run off five shots in succession. For most of us the idea that a new gizmo doesn’t just run is an anomalous thought. But builders of the hardware of new ideas are usually faced with a series of mountainous climbs to get from an […]
