TAGGED WITH batteries
Improved carbon-cement supercapacitors could turn the concrete around us into massive energy storage systems.
As lithium-ion batteries power more vehicles and energy systems, the risk of thermal runaway grows. Honeywell's BES LITE detects electrolyte vapors at the first vent stage, enabling rapid intervention to prevent failures, protect assets, and ensure safety compliance.
New technology from Reeja Jayan in the department of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University extends battery life cycle by 10x, reduces charging time, and improves operating safety.
MIT researchers designed an electrolyte that can break apart at the end of a battery's life, allowing for easier recycling of components.
TAGGED WITH fuel cells
This article is a detailed exploration of crystalline vs amorphous solids, covering atomic order, materials properties, semiconductors, and how they translate into practical semiconductor, hardware and digital design applications.
These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today's best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for powering trucks, planes, or ships.
Development of technology to enable use of hydrogen as a fuel to power turbines, engines, boilers, etc., safely and efficiently is already underway. This first approach is suitable for applications where comparatively large output is required.

Smart city IoT enhances urban life by boosting efficiency, sustainability, and living standards. It addresses challenges like data privacy and scalability, while offering significant benefits despite these hurdles.
Batteries are great, but they are not perfect. The same can be said about supercapacitors. Actually, where one is strong the other is weak. This is why there is growing interest in using both at the same time, but that can be challenging. In this article, we talk about differences between batteries, supercapacitors, hybrids, and how Capacitech’s unique approach to energy storage systems overcomes challenges faced in the past.

Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have applied this principle as the basis for developing new sustainable processes which in the future may produce syngas (synthetic gas) for the large-scale chemical industry and be able to charge batteries.
For several years now, energy storage in salt batteries has been advertised as an environmentally friendly concept that can help accelerate the heat transition. However, product development has only truly hit its stride since recently, says Jelle Houben, PhD candidate at TU/e.
