A new battery could soon reshape how we power wearables, medical devices, and soft robotics. Scientists at Linköping University in Sweden have developed a stretchy battery that stays functional even ...

Before the age of lithium batteries, any project needing to carry its own power had to rely on batteries that were much less energy-dense and affordable. In many ways, we take modern lithium ...

Researchers from Doshisha University, Japan, develop a novel quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery (LIB) with non-flammable solid and liquid electrolytes. The battery has higher ionic conductivity, ...

The Li-ion batteries that power everything from smartphones to electric cars are usually packed in rigid, sealed enclosures that prevent stresses from damaging their components and keep air from ...

Fast charging speeds things up, but usually at the cost of battery life. So when a team at Georgia Tech discovered that cranking up the charge rate actually made zinc-ion batteries stronger, it turned ...

When it comes to soft robots and flexible wearables, one key component is holding them back: the battery. While semiconductors, circuit boards, and the materials they sit on can be made malleable, ...

Scientists may have finally figured out a viable way to create green hydrogen—the purest and most climate-neutral form of hydrogen fuel. The secret, according to new research published in Frontiers in ...

Lithium-ion batteries are notoriously inflexible, but a new study created one using hydrogels that can survive a surprising amount of punishment. According to researchers at UC Berkeley, the battery ...
