Battery management systems now blend physics and machine learning, delivering real‑time insights to boost safety, efficiency and lifespan even under heavy use.
To model the inside of a supercapacitor, my team had to rework a common physics law that most high school students learn.
Australia has all the key ingredients to build a booming battery industry. We just need to find the right cooks and co-ordinate all of this frantic activity to get this big opportunity right.
Electric vehicles are catching on across the US, but they’re also catching on fire in colder regions like the Northeast and Midwest.
One species of eel can discharge 860 volts of electricity – that’s 200-fold higher than the top voltage of a single lithium-ion battery.
Research by author and her students about palm oil waste water processing using Microbial Fuel Cells at the Faculty of Biotechnology, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia
Electric vehicles are still relatively expensive but a trial to help them power the national grid in times of need could see owners being paid. That could make them a lot more attractive.
A battery’s power comes from a chemical reaction that happens inside the cell.
Liquid minerals containing sulfur behave like a hot knife through butter – they’re so corrosive they can melt their way through solid rock.
The battery technology and cooling systems needed for electric aircraft to lift people and cargo are getting closer to reality, but they’re still very different from electric cars and trucks.
Is it too much to dream of batteries that are part of the structure of an item, helping to shape the form of a smartphone, car or building while also powering its functions?
Given the legal issues that could arise from Gaff’s punch on Andrew Brayshaw, it is time the AFL reviewed its policies.
Emptying and refilling a battery is a lot like pouring water from one glass to another, over and over again.
After a month of operation, the Tesla battery at Hornsdale Power Reserve in SA is outperforming expectations - and the model is set to be emulated in Victoria
There are a few reasons why smartphones, tablets and PCs start to seem less snappy over time.
Sick of your phone dying? There are simple ways to extend the life of your phone’s battery.
Plan to develop long-lasting supercapacitors would provide a faster, safer alternative to lithium batteries.
They used to be boring. Now they’re little arsonists.
