Credit: Unsplush.Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers have pushed the boundaries of fast charging technology for electric vehicles (EVs). Their latest breakthrough involves a lithium-ion battery material that recharges up to 80% of its capacity within a mere 10 minutes and maintains this capability for an astounding 1,500 charging cycles.Enhanced Electrolyte FormulationsAt the heart of...
Single-photon emission by a self-assembled GaN/AlN quantum dot. Credit: J. StachurskiTo achieve quantum technology, we need to create a non-classical source of lights that can produce a single photon at a time and accomplish this on-demand. Researchers at EPFL have now developed one of these single-photon emitter that can operate at room temperature. Based...
Our electrical supply depends heavily on high-voltage direct current cables that can efficiently transfer electricity across great distances. Therefore, improving their performance is a significant challenge. Researchers from the Technology University of Chalmers in Sweden have developed a novel insulation material that is up to three times less conductive with the intention of enhancing...
