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 impact on the renewable energy market. Let’s revisit graphene, the supercapacitor, ultracapacitor, how it compares to lithium ion batteries, and when and where it’s going to start making an impact.
The Big Misconception About Electricity
The misconception is that electrons carry potential energy around a complete conducting loop, transferring their energy to the load.
Exploring Why This Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough Matters
Exploring why this nuclear fusion breakthrough matters.
Before you blow your fuse and start leaving your nuclear fusion jokes in the comments, there’s been a major fusion development we have to talk about and it’s kind of a nuclear bombshell … poor choice of words … it’s big news. It’s all about high-temperature semiconductors (ie. magnets).
Why Rust Batteries May Be the Future of Energy – Iron Air Battery Technology
While renewable energy sources like solar and wind have now become cheaper than fossil fuels, developing long-term energy storage is key to overcome their intermittency. Lithium-ion batteries are the state-of-the-art battery technology but they can only cost-effectively provide energy for about 6 hours. So, what if we could extend the battery duration to 100 hours … out of thin air … and rust? Literally!
28,000 Year Nuclear Waste Battery? Diamond Batteries Explained
Given the relatively short lifespan, overheating, and battery cell supply issues of current battery technologies, they can’t be used everywhere. Some companies are claiming that nuclear diamond battery technology can kill two birds with one stone: creating energy storage that could last for thousands of years by putting nuclear waste to use… potentially powering everything from EVs to cellphones. Is this the holy grail of battery technology or hype; and more importantly, is it safe? Let’s explore Nano Diamond Batteries and where this might be going
Breakthrough Liquid Metal Battery Can Power a Clean Grid
Batteries are probably the most important single technology of the next 10 years. Everything for cars and planes will need them, even homes and the power grid. But there’s no one size fits all solution, instead we’ll need various batteries with different strengths if we want to fully transition to a future of clean energy. Are Liquid Metal Batteries the revolution we’ve been waiting for?
What Is Electricity?
Science expert Emerald Robinson explains what electricity is and how it was discovered.
Tesla’s NEW Cost-Efficient Batteries
A revolution is afoot in the world of electric vehicles. Major breakthroughs in chemistry, materials science, and structural engineering will soon help EVs drive further, charge faster and cost a lot less at the dealership. And it’s basically all happening on one company’s watch .Join us now as we nvestigate Tesla’s new battery.
Why Electric Motorcycles are Failing
It’s 2021 and EVs are everywhere – Teslas, e-bicycles, e-scooters, etc. But seeing an electric motorbike in the wild is still rare. Why is the motorcycle industry failing to electrify successfully?
How Soil Could Be An Untapped Source Of Electricity
Bioo is generating electricity from the organic matter in soil and creating biological batteries to power agricultural sensors, a growing $1.36 billion global market. Eventually, Bioo envisions a future where biology could help to power our largest cities.
