Lithium-air batteries demonstrate 90% efficiency in the lab, enough for commercial use. Perhaps the battery breakthrough we’ve been waiting for is here.
New prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has stressed the importance of embracing ‘disruptive’ technologies that shake up existing business models. Solar power and battery storage is one of the most enticing options.
Elon Musk of Tesla Motors wants to build an affordable, mass-market electric car. What can Tesla learn from another auto innovator – Henry Ford?
Fancy new battery technology is great – but still far off the scale required to put a serious dent in carbon usage.
There are plenty of challenges to address before the electric car becomes a practical alternative to the petrol powered cars in Ausrralia.
Everyone wants a better battery for longer run-time on electronics and driving range for EVs. What’s the most likely successor to today’s lithium-ion batteries?
There are a few simple things you can to do maximise the lifetime of your batteries so they don’t need to be replaced as often.
The advent of battery storage heralds an even deeper embrace of electric cars and renewable energy. But amid the green tech revolution, we should be wary of creating new pollution problems.
Lithium-ion is currently the leading battery technology for home installation, but others are just over the horizon that might be even better.
As it’s done with its electric cars, Tesla will need to rely on well-heeled early technology adopters and friendly regulations to sell lots of home batteries.
Not everyone will get the chance to cut their household electricity bills from solar powered batteries.
Many of the targeted behavioral responses to climate change involve reducing energy consumption. This makes sense as the majority of energy consumed (pretty much throughout all history) has involved burning…
Batteries combined with digital technologies will improve the efficiency and reliability of the electric grid, transforming how people use their energy.
Billionaire Elon Musk, the man behind the Tesla electric car, is expected to announce a new generation of battery technology this week. But how did batteries develop in the first place?
Battery prices are falling faster than anyone expected: that’s good news for solar power and electric cars.
Bouncing batteries to check their charge isn’t an internet myth after all.
Picture a device that can produce electricity using nothing but the ambient heat around it. Thanks to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science today, this scenario is a…
At the heart of the current debate around energy is the question of storage. In cars, how to build batteries that run for hundreds of kilometres; in electricity, storing energy from solar panels for when…
Researchers from the University of California have developed batteries powered by silicon extracted from sand, which last…
