New organic, non-toxic, water-based batteries that last five times longer than their lithium counterparts have been developed…
There is a boom in renewable energy sources coming online worldwide, but the predominant types – solar and wind – are problematic due to their variable nature. For most regions of the world, the sun cannot…
New technology allows researchers to capture low temperature (below 100C) waste energy from batteries. Researchers at Stanford…
Less than a year after the launch of the Galaxy S4 smartphone – and the battery issues that came with it – the Samsung Galaxy S5 was one of a host of offerings the electronics giant presented to the World…
By folding a paper-based Li-ion battery, Arizona State University scientists have proven that you can increase the areal…
Imagine having a wafer-thin touchscreen on your sleeve which, like a scene out of a Philip K. Dick novel, gives you all the functionality of a smartphone without the awkwardness of a cumbersome battery…
Storing electricity to use later is critically important to the energy sector and in reducing carbon emissions. In the US…
In visiting Australia regularly for the last two decades I have never quite understood why greater value is not placed on the nation’s latent solar and nuclear energy assets. Perhaps it is because Australia…
Electricity network pricing has been a hot topic in the last six months. The key issues have been regulation and demand side management. On regulation, Prime Minister Julia Gillard is taking a package…
Energy storage will be critically important as we work towards sustainable living. Developing cost-effective ways to store large amounts of electricity from wind turbines and solar farms will be essential…
Storage is one of the highest technological barriers to the spread of renewable energy. When the sun is shining, the tide turning or the wind howling, how do we collect that energy and keep it to use when…
Batteries could become lighter, safer and more versatile by examining their insides with new MRI techniques, claim scientists…
Extending the life of lithium-ion batteries tenfold may now be possible thanks to researchers at Northwestern University…
A battery that uses sulphur-coated nanofibers could improve storage capacity. Sulphur-coated hollow carbon nanofibers and…
Project: To develop better batteries for renewable energy Cost: Around $1.2 million per year (for a team of eight people across several disciplines) Timeframe: First generation technology within three…
