Researchers find an elegant solution for improving the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are set to become much safer and last far longer thanks to a neat solution devised by Cornell engineers. An article in Newswise states that the innovation will revitalize this particular type of rechargeable battery, which has pretty much peaked in terms of performance. Professor Lynden Archer of Cornell University (Cornell) explained that […]

New approach could make invisibility cloaking a very real idea

Researchers have found a new way to make something truly invisible to sight. An article in Science Daily describes a new technology that changes the color of light waves as they go through an object, preventing it from giving off reflections or distortions that would reveal the cloaked object. Its developers claim that their approach […]

Physicists demonstrate a way to conduct electricity between transistors without energy loss

Chinese researchers have created a new superconductor, a material that can transport electrical energy between transistors with such efficiency that there is no energy lost during the transfer. In an article in Science Daily, their discovery can lead to the development of electronics that can run on very little power and quantum computers whose speeds […]

New “densified” super wood could replace steel, is lighter and cheaper

Imagine an incredibly dense type of wood that has more than 10 times the strength and durability of natural lumber, making it more than a match for metal alloys. Well, you can stop imagining, because a Maryland-based research team devised a process to turn that hypothetical wood into reality. Humans have used wood for thousands of years to build […]

Scientists attempt to create a new generation of lithium-ion batteries that run on AIR

Ever since the discovery of the lithium-ion battery, it has greatly contributed to the development of portable electronics, and experts predict that it will soon be used in energy storage and electrically powered transportation. Despite these advancements, however, researchers are still looking to create a power source beyond lithium-ion batteries that they believe will be […]
