It's Just Technology
Exploring why an accidental discovery may have unlocked the holy grail in battery research: an energy dense, long lasting, and safe battery.
Lithium sulfur batteries may be the holy grail of energy storage. Besides fueling electric vehicles (EVs) adoption, they … Read the rest
Batteries are a triumph of science—they allow smartphones and other technologies to exist without anchoring us to an infernal tangle of power cables. Yet even the best batteries will diminish daily, slowly losing capacity until they finally die. Why does … Read the rest
One of the guiding principles of the belief that electric vehicles will take over from internal combustion is the falling cost of batteries. From a pack price of around $1,200 per kWh in 2010, the prices had dropped to $137 … Read the rest
Energy storage is becoming an increasingly crowded market which, at least at utility-scale, is still dominated by lithium-ion technology. But cheaper, greener and safer alternatives are being developed all the time. One of the latest candidates uses well-established zinc-bromide chemistry … Read the rest
Cost and range anxiety are key factors when buying an electric vehicle, but spending hours waiting to fast charge your electric vehicle is another major roadblock. It’s one of the most common questions I hear from non-EV owners, “how long … Read the rest
Renews automatically, cancel anytime. Terms apply. 3D printing has become popular with manufacturers since it provides flexible design, rapid prototyping, cost-effectiveness, waste reduction, and a way to increase sustainability in manufacturing. We’re used to seeing 3D printed toys, shoes, tools, … Read the rest
There’s been lot of hype about graphene since it was first discovered and called a breakthrough. But we’re still waiting for the next big thing. That’s starting to change. A newly announced supercapacitor from Skeleton Technologies could make a big … Read the rest
