Engineers have developed a readily scalable method to optimize a silicon anode priming method that increases lithium-ion battery performance by 22% to 44%. Silicon anode batteries have the potential ...

A team of researchers has developed a water-activated disposable paper battery. The researchers suggest that it could be used to power a wide range of low-power, single-use disposable electronics -- ...

A power tool battery that won't hold a charge may tempt you to try and fix it, but there's a serious reason you should be ...

A drop of water is changing battery science. Scientists at the University of Surrey have discovered a simple tweak that could boost sodium-ion battery performance, by leaving water inside a key ...

Imagine a future where renewable energy storage is not just efficient but also sustainable, scalable, and ethical. This vision is what drives Charley Thomas, a fifth-year PhD student working on ...

Before the age of lithium batteries, any project needing to carry its own power had to rely on batteries that were much less energy-dense and affordable. In many ways, we take modern lithium ...

New data standards would speed battery development. Back in the 1990s, researchers undertook the Human Genome Project, a 13-year journey designed to enable a new era of innovation in medicine. By ...
