New structural battery that performs ten times better

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have produced a structural battery that performs ten times better than all previous versions. It contains carbon fibre that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor, and load-bearing material. Their latest research breakthrough paves the way for essentially ‘massless’ energy storage in vehicles and other technology. The batteries in today’s Read more about New structural battery that performs ten times better[…]

Fujitsu increase energy storage capacity through artificial photosynthesis

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a new thin-film process technology that increases oxygen-producing efficiency by more than 100-fold. This is compared to using photocatalyst material, as is, with photoreactive electrodes that produce electricity and oxygen through the interaction of sunlight and water, used in artificial photosynthesis . The results of this development Read more about Fujitsu increase energy storage capacity through artificial photosynthesis[…]
