Tech Xplore / The unexpected key to extending EV battery life found in 'oxygen release'
What if a battery could become more powerful as it ages? Much like wine developing a deeper flavor over time, researchers in Korea have uncovered the mechanism behind a battery material that can deliver greater usable capacity ...
Tech Xplore / Living cells inspire tiny channels that could help extract lithium for batteries
Gathering lithium, a crucial element in batteries for smartphones, electric cars and the electrical grid, is a time-consuming and energy-intensive process, but new technology could make it much easier.
Tech Xplore / Pulsed 3D printing grows creep-resistant single crystals more than a meter long for high-temperature applications
Researchers from China have developed a new 3D-printing process capable of building titanium-alloy rods more than a meter (3.3 feet) tall composed entirely of a single crystal. The new method, described in the team's recently ...
Tech Xplore / Tunable gate electrodes could help semiconductors operate at lower voltages
Smartphones and computers process information by switching the current that flows inside semiconductors on and off. The gate electrode delivers the signal that controls this switching. Until now, gate electrodes have typically ...
Tech Xplore / AI framework cuts computing use by two-thirds while more than tripling success in virtual tasks
