Solid-state batteries were previously thought to store and release charge by nudging ions back and forth between two electrodes so that the ions flow through the battery’s solid electrolyte in a gentle stream. That seems to be wrong.…

A ticker-tape parade was the only thing missing when lithium deposits were discovered in southwest Wyoming near Rock Springs in 2023. At the time, there was one working lithium mine in the US; unfortunately, that's still true. Demand for…

Researchers from MIT invented a device that operates without a battery, plug, or dirty energy. According to Daniel Monagle, MIT graduate student and study lead author, “We have provided an example of a battery-less sensor that does…

ROHM Semiconductor has unveiled the KR2002-Q06N5AA thermal printhead. Compatible with a single Li-ion battery cell (3.6V), the printhead delivers high-performance printing while achieving a 30% improvement in energy savings. The…

Battery manufacturer Northvolt manufactures a sodium-ion battery that is competitive with traditional chemistries. The company claims its battery is safer, cheaper, and more sustainable than most batteries on the market containing nickel…

Move over Lithium; there's a new material in town. Researchers have discovered a material that might reduce Lithium use in batteries thanks to AI and supercomputing. Microsoft and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (U.S. Department of…

Recently, there's a lot of activity in using biomedical implants in the body, such as in the heart or brain. They enable real-time measurement and regulation of physiological signals, presenting new solutions for diseases like Parkinson's.…

University of Sussex researchers innovated an energy-efficient alternative to transmit data that could replace Bluetooth in mobile phones and other devices. They discovered a more efficient way to connect devices and improve battery life.…

Researchers at Brown University and Idaho National Laboratory say the secret to battery longevity can be found in how things get clean — specifically soap. In hand washing, soap forms structures called micelles that trap and remove grease,…

Pickering Interfaces, a leader in modular signal switching and simulation for electronic testing and verification, is set to unveil two groundbreaking products at productronica - a 21-slot fully hybrid PXIe chassis and a pioneering…
