Scientists develop a revolutionary way to 3D print next generation of batteries
Additive manufacturing, otherwise known as 3D printing, can be used to manufacture porous electrodes for lithium-ion batteries--but because of the nature of the manufacturing...
Why does my phone battery die so fast?
Why do batteries die?
And, why can they only be recharged so many times before they won’t hold a useful amount of charge?
My young son...
New flow battery for green energy could double max voltage
A new type of flow battery that involves a liquid metal more than doubles the maximum voltage of conventional flow batteries and could lead...
Dark energy? No sign of symmetrons
One thing is certain: there's something out there we don't yet know.
For years scientists have been looking for "dark matter" or "dark energy".
With our...
Scientists boost performance quality of perovskites
Solar cells need to slim down.
Solar cells are devices that absorb photons from sunlight and convert their energy to move electrons -- enabling the...
