Automotive patents don’t always focus on a new product that is about to hit showrooms. More often, they give us a peek at the ...

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Hydrogen, a clean energy source, requires a highly reliable and safe storage system, which is currently lacking. Layered ...

Carmakers and startups are racing to perfect solid-state batteries, but manufacturing challenges and high costs still stand in the way ...

We rely on batteries now more than ever, from our phones and laptops to electric vehicles. But the ones powering today's technologies aren't without their shortcomings. They can be expensive, ...

Solid-state cooling has long promised quieter, more compact refrigeration without the climate burden of traditional gases, but the materials have struggled to deliver enough punch in a small footprint ...

At some point, the development of solid-state batteries—in which electrons flow through a solid material instead of a liquid or gel—is going to lead to electric vehicles that can go much farther on a ...

Solid-state batteries charge in a fraction of the time, run cooler, and pack more energy into less space than traditional lithium-ion versions. A new review from the University of California, ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered a way to make all-solid-state batteries safer and more powerful using inexpensive materials. Instead of adding costly metals, they redesigned the battery’s ...
