Researchers at the Maryland NanoCenter at the University of Maryland have developed new systems for storing electrical energy derived from alternative sources that are, in some cases, 10 times more efficient than what is commercially available.
In order to save money and energy, many people are purchasing hybrid electric cars or installing solar panels [...]

But an adjacent dial shows something else: the amount of charge in the car’s capacitors is decreasing. Ease off the accelerator and as the speedo winds down the capacitors charge [...]
