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.
The rise of EVs and data centers boosts demand for ESS, which manages energy storage and distribution. Adam Tech's ESF/ESM connectors support this shift with high efficiency and reliability.
According to new research, greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and water usage are all meaningfully reduced when – instead of mining for new metals – batteries are recycled.
Some carbon-based solar cells already show no drop in performance after three years’ worth of radiation, and the cause of degradation in others could be preventable.
SeaLion Energy, a CMU-led startup, received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E to extend EV battery life and facilitate repair and reuse to reduce waste.
Ever wondered how batteries power your gadgets or how metals are refined to their purest forms? The answers lie in the interplay of cathodes and anodes, two simple yet critical components in electrochemistry. This article will delve into their workings, applications, and challenges.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing industries through connectivity and automation, but underestimated battery life costs can significantly inflate the total cost of ownership (TCO) over time.
Caltech researchers from campus and JPL have collaborated to devise a method for coating lithium-ion battery cathodes with graphene, extending the life and performance of these widely used rechargeable batteries.
Many IoT devices are battery-powered and one of the most important operating parameters is how long those batteries last in normal service. Maximizing battery life improves the user experience, lowers maintenance costs, and reduces wastage.
