The bandgap, i.e. the energy gap between the highest lying valence and the lowest lying conduction band, is a defining ...

Knowable Magazine reports solid-state batteries promise improved EV performance with faster charging and longer ranges, but ...

All-solid-state batteries are emerging energy storage solutions in which flammable liquid electrolytes are substituted by solid materials that conduct lithium ions. In addition to being safer than ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

Toyota and Sumitomo Metal Mining said on Wednesday they have made advances in the development of cathode materials for ...

Solid-state batteries, where the electrolyte consists of a solid material rather than a liquid one, hold massive potential for future energy storage applications, but have been plagued by stability ...

One of the most abundant renewable resources we have on the planet is trees. Tree farms worldwide grow all types of trees for use in making construction materials, paper, and a litany of other items.

As useful as refrigerators and air conditioners are, the gases they use as refrigerants can leak into the atmosphere and become major contributors to climate change. Now engineers at Harvard have ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a novel potential means of alternative refrigeration: ionocaloric cooling. The method involves electrically charged atoms or ...
