Post-lithium technology
Nov 05, 2019 (SPX)
In the journal Angewandte Chemie, US and Chinese scientists report a high-performance cathode made of an organic polymer to be used in low-cost, environmentally...
Shedding new light on the charging of lithium-ion batteries
Nov 01, 2019 (SPX)
Owners of electric vehicles are well aware of "range anxiety" as the charge level runs low or the location of the closest charging station seems too distant. Fa...
System provides cooling with no electricity
Oct 31, 2019 (SPX)
The device, which has no moving parts, works by a process called radiative cooling. It blocks incoming sunlight to keep from heating it up, and at the same time...

Oct 31, 2019 (SPX)
"We demonstrated that we can charge an electrical vehicle in ten minutes for a 200 to 300 mile range," said Chao-Yang Wang, William E. Diefenderfer Chair of mec...
Discoveries from fusion to astrophysics at global gathering
Oct 30, 2019 (SPX)
The October 21-25 conference drew more than 1,800 participants from around the world to meet with colleagues and present posters and talks on the range of plasm...
Ballard to supply Anglo American with 900kW of Fuel Cells to support mining truck project
Oct 29, 2019 (SPX)
A total of 8 of the FCveloCity-HD modules will power a retrofitted Ultra heavy duty mining truck in a demonstration project during 2020 at one of Anglo American...
Army Air Force meteorologist turned material scientist shares the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019
Oct 25, 2019 (SPX)
The eldest recipient of a Nobel Prize at age 97, Goodenough shares the award with M. Stanley Whittingham of Binghamton University and Akira Yoshino of Meijo Uni...
Gravity crystals: A new method for exploring the physics of white dwarf stars
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
Wigner crystallization has been observed in variety of systems, ranging from particulates the size of sand grains suspended in small clouds of electrons and ion...
World record acceleration: Zero to 7 billion electron volts in 8 inches
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
With conventional technology, however, this requires a machine that is enormously big and expensive (think 20 miles long). To shrink the size and cost of these ...
Magneto-inertial fusion experiment nears completion
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
In the meantime, experiments performed with the currently installed plasma guns are providing fundamental data to create simulations of colliding plasma jets, w...
A star is born: Using lasers to study how star stuff is made
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
The NIF laser beams' energy is amplified in a building equivalent to the length of three football fields and then focused onto tiny gas- or ice-filled capsules ...
New insights could help tame speedy ions in fusion plasmas
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
A team at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility recently took a different approach to studying these difficult-to-measure particles. The research showed promising...
Fuel injection helps reduce magnetic island instabilities
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
But like a balloon holding air, the magnetic fields can be leaky, allowing the plasma energy to escape. One form of a "leak" is a phenomenon known as a magnetic...
Taking new angle to enable more efficient, compact fusion power plants
Oct 23, 2019 (SPX)
Dr. Xi Chen will present the team's findings at this week's APS Division of Plasma Physics annual meeting. Building economical fusion reactors in the future wil...
New plasma wave accelerator propels electrons to record speeds
Oct 21, 2019 (UPI)
Particle accelerators are essential to advanced particle physics and the quest to solve the great mysteries of the cosmos. But today's particle accelerators are...
Energy flow in the nano range
Oct 19, 2019 (SPX)
But how can the flow of energy be observed? This is what Tobias Brixner's group at the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at Julius-Maximilians-Uni...
Battery with a twist
Oct 17, 2019 (SPX)
A remedy for this problem is now being created by Markus Niederberger, Professor for Multifunctional Materials at ETH Zurich, and his team. The researchers have...
Machine learning finds new metamaterial designs for energy harvesting
Oct 17, 2019 (SPX)
Metamaterials are synthetic materials composed of many individual engineered features, which together produce properties not found in nature through their struc...
Development of highly sensitive diode, converts microwaves to electricity
Oct 17, 2019 (SPX)
