The building you live in, the bridges you cross, and the sidewalks you traverse could one day store electricity. New research from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has shown that, with a ...

One of the more interesting areas of battery research centers on how these devices can not just store energy, but also double as structural components. We've seen some impressive examples of this that ...

The two biggest challenges that face us when it comes to energy are, well, generating energy and then figuring out some way to store it. You see, non-renewable sources of energy like coal or gasoline ...

Concrete already builds our world, and now it's one step closer to powering it, too. Made by combining cement, water, ultra-fine carbon black (with nanoscale particles), and electrolytes, ...

On the surface, a car battery seems like a solid, relatively indestructible element of an automobile. They're dense, heavy, and don't always show the clearest signs of aging. With that said, these ...

Many of our common devices use rechargeable batteries (also called “secondary” batteries) rather than single-use non-rechargeable ones (primary batteries). We expect that sooner or later we’ll need to ...

Meeting our growing energy demands without continuing to destroy the planet might be one of the biggest challenges of our time, and it calls for some pretty creative solutions. Swiss company Energy ...
