As energy becomes all the more expensive, solar panels continue to grow in popularity. Thinking about it: why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of free renewable energy from the Sun? However, installing solar panels is never as easy or straightforward...
Samsung SDI, one of the several largest lithium-ion battery manufacturers for electric vehicles, announced that it started construction of its solid-state battery pilot line.
The pilot line, called S-Line, will be located at the company's SDI R&D...
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has set extraordinary goals for in-house battery production this year. In late 2020, Musk announced that Tesla aimed to halve the costs of the most expensive part of an EV by producing its own batteries. Tesla’s 4680 lithium-ion batteries — with 46-millimeter diameter and 80-millimeter...
There’s a better way to build solid-state lithium batteries, scientists say. By studying the battery manufacturing process, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Upton, New York-based Brookhaven National Laboratory have eliminated a tiny (but crucial) contamination issue, which could cut down on the complexity in future battery...
The Steam Deck's viability as an all-in-one portable gaming machine just became stronger, as it now formally supports a one-click option to get any web-based cloud gaming service working—including Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
While the Deck comes with both Firefox and Chrome preinstalled, this update does not work with...
Wouldn't it be great if you could just click a button and just wipe, say, the last 15 minutes of your Google search history?
iPhone users have been living that dream since last summer, when Google rolled out that very option to its iOS app. Now Android users can now...
Apple's updated iPad mini may be a niche device because of its size, but it's got enough power to suit most people's needs. We gave the small tablet a score of 89 when it came out last year, and now you can...
For decades researchers and technologists have regarded batteries and capacitors as two distinct energy storage devices—batteries, known for storing more energy but releasing it slowly; capacitors, for quickly discharging it in smaller spurts. Each new energy storage device has therefore been...
Plastic pipes snake down 460 feet into the earth, drawing up enough warmth to heat a 7,700-square-foot building—even on the coldest days of winter.
Rooftop solar panels can produce twice as much electricity as the building needs.
The first Mac Studios are in the wild, and as is always the case, the first teardowns are starting to hit the web. Most notably so far, Max Tech on YouTube has taken apart the Mac Studio to reveal the internal...
