Batteries that use organic materials in place of rare metals are seen as a promising way to tackle their environmental footprint, and new research demonstrates how their performance might be brought up to speed.
-
Scientists have come up with a promising new design for an experimental battery, one which they say could lead to electric cars that charge in as little as 10 minutes, by combining a sandwich-style layered construction with a solid electrolyte.
-
A research team in the US has developed a prototype version of a solid-state battery that overcomes some of the key roadblocks in this area, demonstrating stable, high-capacity storage through the use of a novel, self-healing material.
-
In this world overflowing with data and content, external solid state drives are becoming faster. A new SSD called GigaDrive boasts read and write speeds of up to 2,800 MB/s thanks to its architecture and Thunderbolt 4- and USB4-compatible port.
-
Chinese Tesla rival Nio has unveiled its first electric sedan following several SUVs and the wild EP9 supercar. The ET7 promises supercar-level acceleration, a focus on autonomy, and a monster 621-mile range from a huge 150-kWh solid-state battery.
-
QuantumScape has announced stunning performance figures for what may be the first commercially viable solid-state lithium-metal battery. It's claimed to add as much as 80% to the range of an electric car, and charge from 0-80% in just 15 minutes.
-
Samsung has unveiled its latest lineup of solid state drives for PCs. The 870 QVO SATA SSD packs capacity options between 1 TB and a beefy 8 TB, making it one of the roomiest consumer-level SSDs out there.
-
Scientists at Brown University are reporting a new material that overcomes some of the key hurdles of solid-state batteries, using a delicate mix of ceramics and the wonder material graphene to produce the toughest solid electrolyte to date.
-
We've recently been hearing about solid state batteries, which have some definite advantages over their conventional counterparts. Although they're still not quite ready for everyday use, a new butter-like substance could help change that.
-
At 50 percent smaller by volume than a typical lithium-ion battery, Samsung's prototype solid-state pouch cells could enable 500-mile electric car ranges and cycle lives over 1,000 charges in a much safer package.
-
Scientists at MIT are now reporting an exciting advance in the realm of solid-state lithium batteries, demonstrating a new type of architecture that overcomes some limitations of current designs and could lead to smartphones that last for days.
-
Researchers at Australia's Deakin University say they've managed to use common industrial polymers to create solid electrolytes, opening the door to double-density solid state lithium batteries that won't explode or catch fire if they overheat.
