A Chalmers University of Technology research team created a battery from a carbon fiber composite with aluminum stiffness characteristics and sufficient energy density for commercial use. They followed the basic concept of building with a…

The adoption of electric vehicles is causing a rise in demand for next-generation secondary batteries with higher capacity and faster charging than today’s lithium-ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are promising as rechargeable…

Chemists have long dreamed of the possibility of buckyballs, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. Science, as usual, took some time to catch up. Today's question is, how far are we from a carbon-powered jetpack future? Wahoo!

Carbon-neutral fuels are crucial for making aviation and maritime transport sustainable. ETH researchers have developed a solar plant to produce synthetic liquid fuels that release as much CO2 during their combustion as previously extracted…
