Lithium Sulphur (or Sulfur) batteries have been on the ‘hopeful technology’ list for over a decade now. Potentially they have 5 times the energy density of existing lithium-ion batteries. The trouble is, previous prototypes had terribly short cycle lives, so they were pretty much useless. Now, after ten years of waiting, suddenly two different solutions have been announced within a week of each other, both claiming to solve the problem. So, which one will come out on top?
Can Boston Dynamics’ Robots Spot And Stretch Make It Profitable?
Boston Dynamics has sparked the imaginations of the general public with its viral YouTube videos, but the company is now hoping to get the attention of paying customers. Initially, Boston Dynamics received a lot of its funding from the U.S. military and DARPA.
Later, it was financed by big-name owners including Google, SoftBank and most recently, Hyundai. All of these companies have tried to steer the robot maker on a path to commercialization, and Boston Dynamics is finally getting there. CNBC got a rare look at Boston Dynamics’ office in Massachusetts, where the team showed off two of the robots they are working to commercialize: Spot and Stretch.

Lithium batteries of the future are here – all we needed was sugar! I’m not kidding
Lithium–sulfur batteries may succeed lithium-ion cells because of their higher energy density and reduced cost due to the use of sulfur instead of cobalt, which is commonly used in lithium-ion batteries.
What is a Liquidity Pool in Crypto? (Animated)
What is a Liquidity Pool? A liquidity pool in crypto and DeFi is a group of assets tied up in a smart contract, which allows traders to trade certain coins and tokens back in forth using an algorithm to determine current pricing.
Can This $22 Billion Megaproject Make Nuclear Fusion Power A Reality?
Fusion is the process that powers the sun and the stars, and scientists are getting a lot closer to replicating it here on Earth. ITER, the $22 billion dollar international fusion megaproject in the south of France, is the most well-funded endeavor, paid for by the governments of its member nations. But VC’s and private investors are also pouring money into fusion start-ups, with hopes to commercialize fusion power within the next decade. With a number of breakthroughs already this year, the race is on to prove that fusion power is not only possible, but integral to a clean energy future.
