batteries
Sunlight makes the new “aqueous solar flow” battery 20 percent more efficient than today’s lithium-iodine batteries.
Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, can be used to create beautiful birds, frogs and other small sculptures. Now a Binghamton University engineer says the technique can be applied to building batteries, too.
Physicists at the University of Washington have conducted the most precise and controlled measurements yet of the interaction between the atoms and molecules that comprise air and the type of carbon surface used in battery electrodes and air filters — key information for improving those technologies.
Invention captures wasted cell phone energy, feeds it back to battery.
Identifying where buildup comes from will lead to improved rechargeable batteries
New material opens the door to low-cost, environmentally friendly energy use.
They’re in just about every box you get in the mail…and they almost immediately get thrown in the trash. Now one group of scientists wants to turn those packing peanuts…into power
Solution enables a battery with both high efficiency and current density.
Smaller, lighter electric car batteries that don't have to sacrifice longevity to be petite could be one benefit of basic research into lithium-ion battery nanomaterials at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).
