Scientists have taken a major step toward futuristic energy tech by building a working prototype of a quantum battery—one ...

A major breakthrough in battery science reveals why promising single-crystal lithium-ion batteries haven’t lived up to expectations. Researchers found that these batteries crack due to uneven internal ...

Plastic waste on a global level amounts to hundreds of millions of tonnes annually, although very little of that is recycled. On the other hand, corrosive waste such as spent battery acid from used ...

A new type of sustainable battery is made using water and clay, and researchers believe it could be the perfect option for future missions to Mars. The reason this battery is so impressive is because ...

Delhi-based materials science startup Dashamlabs has raised Rs 12 crore in a seed funding round led by Speciale Invest with participation from IIMA Ventures. The proceeds will support expansion of ...

Lithium-ion batteries are notoriously inflexible, but a new study created one using hydrogels that can survive a surprising amount of punishment. According to researchers at UC Berkeley, the battery ...

Researchers at City University of Hong Kong developed a cooling “skin” that protects fast‑charging batteries from dangerous heat buildup. The composite material releases or absorbs water to regulate a ...
