Stromer is hard at work on a solid state battery pack that could lower ebike charging times drastically. The pack could charge 10 times faster than traditional lithium batteries, allowing riders to get back in the saddle in minutes, not hours.
-
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has come up with a small tweak to the way that a type of solid-state battery is made, which eliminates defects in the electrolyte film, opening the way to safer and more efficient batteries.
-
xMEMS Labs is aiming to replace century-old coil-based speaker technology with silicon-based microspeakers, and has launched three Solid-State Fidelity solutions for use in upcoming true-wireless earphones, in-ear monitors and digital hearing aids.
-
Gases used as refrigerants in cooling systems can leak into the atmosphere and become major contributors to climate change. Now engineers at Harvard have demonstrated a new prototype cooling device that uses a solid-state material as a refrigerant.
-
Nissan has joined other big-name automakers in outlining a vision around next-generation battery technology, which includes plans for a dedicated production facility and possible 15-minute charging times for electric vehicles.
-
Scientists at Japan's Tokyo Metropolitan University have taken aim at a common problem plaguing next-generation lithium metal batteries, finding a promising solution in a salty liquid that reduces problematic resistance between key components.
-
Rubber might not seem like a great candidate for an electrolyte material in a battery, but Georgia Tech researchers have developed a new rubbery material with a high conductivity, which could make for safer electric vehicle batteries with longer range.
-
Two promising avenues in the development of next-energy storage involve the use of lithium metal and an electrolyte that is solid rather than liquid, and new research brings these branches of battery research together in an exciting new breakthrough.
