Lithium salts make batteries powerful but expensive. An ultralow-concentration electrolyte based on the lithium salt LiDFOB may be a more economical and more sustainable alternative. Cells using these electrolytes and conventional electrodes have been demonstrated to have high performance, as reported...
The electrode sheet of a thermoelectric device consists of ionic hydrogel, which is sandwiched between the electrodes to form, and the Prussian blue on the electrode undergoes a redox reaction to improve the energy density and power density of the ionic...
One of the most expensive parts of any rocket launch is getting the rocket off the ground and into space. This part of the mission takes a massive amount of fuel and money to pull off. That’s why projects like NASA’s...
Officials broke ground Monday on a new high-speed rail system that will connect Southern California and Las Vegas.
The Brightline West system will average speeds of about 115 miles per hour and reach a top speed of around 200 mph, comparable to other high-speed systems around the world. The Eurostar...
Imoto Lines and Marindows aim to launch the 200-teu feeder vessel that aims to address the issues of decaronbisation, crew shortages and safe navigation for Japanese domestic shipping.
The container vessel will feature Japan’s first exchangeable container batteries, alongside onboard batteries, and generators, and conduct demonstration experiments on the Kobe...
As tech’s behemoths get set to report earnings this week, they do so facing a mountain of drama.
At Google, there have been protests and restructurings, while Tesla just announced mass layoffs, price cuts and a Cybertruck recall. Microsoft’s OpenAI relationship faces fresh scrutiny and Facebook parent Meta’s major rollout of its new artificial intelligence assistant last week...
Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have improved the properties of a carbon-based electrode material by exposing it to air plasma. Such treatment turned out to enhance electrode performance, which is the limiting factor for high-tech energy sources—particularly fuel cells.
These are a promising technology for cleaner and more efficient...
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a high-power hybrid sodium-ion battery that can be charged in seconds.
Sodium is considered nearly 1000 times more abundant than lithium. Therefore, sodium-ion electrochemical...
Apple is developing its own large language model (LLM) that runs on-device to prioritize speed and privacy, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports.
Writing in his "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that Apple's LLM underpins upcoming generative AI features....
The quest to generate more energy from less material while avoiding burning any more fossil fuels than our planet can handle is spawning some, let's say, creative ideas.
Nuclear fusion records are being smashed, even if only...
