TAGGED WITH batteries
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.

Whether rooftop solar panels are worth the cost is largely dependent in Switzerland on local compensation rates for solar power and on electricity prices in general – these are the findings of a study by researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Bern. Many power grid operators pay too little, thereby limiting the expansion of solar power.
