Researchers at the University of Maryland have invented a single miniature structure that includes all the components of a battery which they say could be the beginning of the micro energy storage component. The device, known as a nanopore, is a tiny hole in a ceramic sheet that holds electrolyte to carry … Continue reading The World’s Smallest Battery
Most people are under the impression that pennies are made of copper. This is only partially true. Before 1982, pennies were made of 95% copper and 5% zinc. Because the price of copper was rising, the U.S. Mint had to change the penny’s composition to keep the cost of the coin under one cent.
People are hailing the lithium ion battery as being the gold standard in the industry because they can be recharged hundreds of times and are excellent for providing the power needed to run man different devices, including electric cars. The only problem is that lithium isn’t cheap and it could get even more expensive if … Continue reading A Desalination Battery Could Replace a Lithium Ion Battery in the Future
Polarity is a term used in electricity, magnetism and electronic signaling, just to name a few areas. Polarity is defined as, the condition of a body or system in which it has opposing physical properties at different points, especially, magnetic poles or electric charge. In the case of electric current running between two points, … Continue reading What is Polarity?
Not only have electric cars become a reality, but they have become increasingly more a part of everyday life. However, while the vehicles may be good for the planet, some people are worried their magnetic fields may not be safe in regards to the driver’s health. Recently, a study conducted by seven countries has … Continue reading Electric Cars Do Not Pose Elevated Risk of Cancer from Electromagnetic Fields, Experts Say
Is it a solar cell or a rechargeable battery? Both! The patent-pending device invented at The Ohio State University is the world’s first solar battery. In the October 3, 2014 issue of the journal Nature Communications, the Ohio State researchers reported that they’ve succeeded in combining a battery and a solar cell … Continue reading World’s First Solar Cell that Stores its Own Power
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory claim that recycled tires could see new life in lithium-ion batteries that provide power to plug-in electric vehicles and store energy produced by wind and solar. By modifying the microstructural characteristics of carbon black, a substance recovered from discarded tires, a team led … Continue reading New Battery Technology in the Form of Recycled Tires
