Various automobile companies are preparing to shift from internal combustion (IC) engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). For EV costs to compete with those of IC engine vehicles, their batteries, which account for about 30% of their…

Both persistent battery power and anti-corrosion coatings are key to sustaining military operations, however there is an inability to address microscopic irregularities that form at the interfaces of electrochemical materials. To find a…

While it’s true that solid-state batteries pack substantial energy into a small space, their electrodes are not good at keeping in touch with their electrolytes. Similarly, liquid electrolytes reach every nook and cranny of an electrode to…

StoreDot has announced that together with the Israeli Electric Company (IEC) it has been approved by NASA to conduct the first space-based research and development program into new battery materials.

In response to demand driven by the rapidly expanding electrical vehicle market, EA Elektro-Automatik has developed a range of products for the entire spectrum of battery recycling – from battery testing/recharge to second life to final…

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder developed a new, low-cost wearable device that transforms the human body into a biological battery. Published in the journal Science Advances, the device stretches to wear as a ring or…

Although electric vehicles are attracting many, there is a lack of confidence in charging services that deter others from jumping on that bandwagon. Charging station reliability is difficult as it's a challenge to aggregate data from…

Range anxiety may finally be a thing of the past. A team of Penn State engineers is looking at lithium iron phosphate batteries with a range of 250 miles and the ability to charge in 10 minutes. According to Chao-Yang Wang, William E.…

Description: From warehouse robots to delivery robots to automated golf carts, automation is an integral part of our lives. When it comes to designing these robots, engineering considerations range from structure and heat transfer…

Wireless charging is common in consumer and medical electronics applications. Now, scientists have created a control strategy that dynamically changes transmitter currents for wireless charging in robots and electric cars. In a recently…
