Structural batteries are used in industries such as eco-friendly, energy-based automobiles, mobility, and aerospace, and they must simultaneously meet the requirements of high energy density for energy storage and high load-bearing capacity. Conventional structural battery technology has struggled to enhance both functions concurrently. However, KAIST researchers have succeeded in developing foundational technology to address this […]

Fast-charging lithium-sulfur battery for eVTOLs nears production
Researchers at Australia’s Monash University are close to solving one of the biggest challenges with eVTOL aircraft. The team’s new lithium-sulfur battery tech is designed to deliver roughly twice the energy density of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, as well as speedy charging and discharging – enabling the sort of power delivery needed in the skies. Until […]
Ultra-fast charging lithium-sulfur battery is capable of powering long-haul EVs and commercial drones
Monash University engineers have developed an ultra-fast charging lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery, capable of powering long-haul EVs and commercial drones. The novel batteries double the energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries while being significantly lighter and more affordable. With further development, the technology could become a viable option for powering electric aircraft in the future. Until […]
New study shows: EV batteries last much longer than expected
Sometimes it’s about child labour in cobalt mining, then it’s about range anxiety or the collapse of the power grid if all electric cars charge at the same time – the internet is full of false statements and half-truths about electric cars and their batteries. As soon as one topic is refuted with facts or […]
How a solar Minecraft server is changing the way we play video games
Video games have always been a showcase for new technologies. They help create new audiences and new markets. In the 1990s, computer parts manufacturers advertised the speed of their video cards in terms of the frames they could render per second of popular video games like Quake. Developing and playing video games takes up a […]
World’s 1st silicon anode EV battery will let you drive up to 186 miles after just 5 minutes of charging
A ceramic battery manufacturer has unveiled a solid-state battery concept that can be charged from 5% to 60% capacity in just five minutes — giving future electric vehicles (EVs) a 186-mile (300 km) range in the time it takes to order a coffee. Revealing the design at the 2024 Paris Motor Show on Oct. 14, […]
