Using the world's most powerful neutron source and technology from space telescopes, DTU researchers will create a unique microscope that can look inside batteries and see what happens when they break down. This could lead to better battery materials in the future.
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.
TAGGED WITH fuel cells
WashU chemical engineers work to bring stability to iron components instead of using more expensive precious metals in fuel cell technologies
Learn why growing hardware teams slow down as they scale, and how aligned workflows, parallel collaboration, and real-time design visibility restore speed and momentum.
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.

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.

This was a mission-critical test case for Red Bull. The goal was to recharge the drone batteries quickly, needing high levels of power. The battery generator did not have the peak power required nor the power quality to complete the task on its own, but in combination with Capacitech's products, the system worked without a hitch!

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.
