Scientists at MIT have made an efficient battery out of cement, one that could form the foundation of your house and be used to charge your electric car. They took the existing cement battery and made ...

Electric vehicles (EV) seem to be the way of the future. They are climate friendly, and they are cheaper overall than gas-powered vehicles. One thing that concerns some prospective and current owners, ...

The Li-ion batteries that power everything from smartphones to electric cars are usually packed in rigid, sealed enclosures that prevent stresses from damaging their components and keep air from ...

When cars, planes, ships or computers are built from a material that functions as both a battery and a load-bearing structure, the weight and energy consumption are radically reduced. A research group ...

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 ...

DTU researcher Mohamad Khoshkalam has invented a new material based on rock silicates for a solid-state electrolyte that has the potential to replace lithium in future electric car batteries. Photo: ...

Can a small Massachusetts start-up perfect a battery that would make electric vehicles cheaper and more convenient than conventional cars? Can a small Massachusetts start-up perfect a battery that ...

Tiny droplets are powering big ideas in science. Researchers have developed a miniature, soft, and flexible lithium-ion battery made from biocompatible hydrogel. This new battery, smaller than a grain ...

Historically, making a thin phone meant trading the usual battery for one that's slimmer and less robust. And what good is a thin phone with poor battery life? Up-and-coming silicon-carbon battery ...

There's a good chance that whatever device you're using to read this story runs off a battery made in China. And until very recently, that was true of a great many electric vehicles as well. That's ...
