Components and Materials

Scientists seek to use supercomputers to fix major flaws in batteries.

Car makers are extending the driving range of the electric vehicle to resemble a gasoline-powered car. This requires larger batteries that grow exponentially with the distance driven.

Latin America remains a region of great challenges in terms of covering the economic and social needs of all of its people while facing daring times trying to accommodate the increasing demand for new and better products and services.

Scientists from Arizona State University and Rice University have devised an ingenious solution for dealing with lithium dendrite growth.

Scientists from the United States Army are working on creating a more efficient type...

It is a dramatic understatement to say that the world of electronic devices continues to go more portable. The mantra of smaller, lighter, and faster shows itself through the myriad of devices we use as we move through our world outside of traditional work and home environments.

Will sodium-based batteries replace our current lithium-powered ones?

Old glass bottles get a chance at a second life with this new technology that turns them into batteries.

An incredibly small chip is changing the way we look at power and speed in many of our most used devices.

Transported lithium-based batteries are divided into two types: lithium-ion found in mobile phones and laptops, and non-rechargeable lithium-metal used in medical devices and a number of consumer grade AA, AAA and 9V batteries.
