Tech Xplore / Transformative battery structure surpasses fast charge goals for Li cycling
Current batteries are limited by their required charging time and achievable range. The US Department of Energy (DOE) developed a fast-charge goal of 10 minutes to charge an electric vehicle (EV) battery.
Tech Xplore / Novel physics-encoded artificial intelligence model helps to learn spatiotemporal dynamics
Prof. Liu Yang from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), in collaboration with her colleagues from Renmin University of China and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has proposed a novel network, namely, ...
Tech Xplore / Researcher explores effect of hospital mergers on data breaches
The period during and after hospital mergers and acquisitions is an especially vulnerable time for patient data when the chance of a cybersecurity breach more than doubles, according to research by a University of Texas at ...
Tech Xplore / Analysis quantifies impacts of setback ordinances on land available for renewable energy deployment
The number of local zoning ordinances governing renewable energy deployment is growing in the United States, according to new research by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The amount ...
Dialog / The role of energy density for grid-scale batteries
Because the sun does not shine at night but all our screens do, we need energy storage to shift solar energy production during the day to when it is needed in the evening. To cope with this intermittence of renewables, we ...
Tech Xplore / Robots cause company profits to fall—at least at first
Researchers have found that robots can have a 'U-shaped' effect on profits: causing profit margins to fall at first, before eventually rising again.
Tech Xplore / One step closer to lithium metal batteries that function with minimal external pressure
A team of battery researchers led by the University of California San Diego and University of Chicago has developed a new methodology to produce the potentially game-changing thin-film solid-state electrolyte called lithium ...
Tech Xplore / Tennis anyone? Researchers serve up advances in developing motion simulation technology's next generation
Simon Fraser University computing science assistant professor Jason Peng is leading a research team that is raising motion simulation technology to the next level—and using the game of tennis to showcase just how real virtual ...
Tech Xplore / New transparent metadevices based on quasi-1D surface plasmon polariton structures
Transparent electronic devices could have numerous valuable real-world applications. Among other things, they could enable the creation of new optical devices, smart gear or wearables, invisible solar panels and integrated ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers use molecular additive to make new LED more efficient, but it is less stable
Chances are, the screen you're reading from glows thanks to light-emitting diodes—commonly known as LEDs. This widespread technology provides energy-efficient indoor lighting and increasingly illuminates our computer monitors, ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic grippers offer unprecedented combo of strength and delicacy
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripping device that is gentle enough to pick up a drop of water, strong enough to pick up a 6.4 kilogram (14.1 pound) weight, dexterous enough to fold ...
Tech Xplore / Climate change may cause disruptions to solar generation in the future, modeling suggests
Climate change may affect the future stability of grid-connected solar power systems—something that needs to be considered in the planning of Australia's renewable energy transition.
