Electronics are getting smaller all the time, but there’s a limit to how tiny they can get with today’s materials. Researchers now say, however, that they have developed a way to shrink capa... Read more
A new use for glass is being developed by researchers in Penn State’s Materials Research Institute that could make future hybrid-electric and plug-in electric vehicles more affordable and re... Read more
Renewables such as wind and solar power are experiencing an exponential year-by-year growth Researchers at Drexel University are developing an electrochemical flow capacitor (EFC) that combi... Read more
New material claimed to store more energy and cost less money than batteries Researchers from the National University of Singapore’s Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Initiative (NUSNNI)... Read more
Nano Bundles Pack a Powerful Punch Rice University researchers have created a solid-state, nanotube-based supercapacitor that promises to combine the best qualities of high-energy batteries... Read more
Capacitors are able to charge and discharge more quickly than batteries, and can do so hundreds of thousands of times. Batteries, on the other hand, are able to store more energy than capaci... Read more
After six years of intensive effort, scientists are reporting development of the first commercially viable nanogenerator, a flexible chip that can use body movements — a finger pinch n... Read more
