supercapacitor

Capacitors and their much smaller-than-battery capacitance have always presented energy storage and cost challenges. More recently, supercapacitors with greater capacity and performance have been developed using such nanocarbon materials as…

Our natural world is endlessly inspiring. Recently, a team of scientists used a lizard species to create a "breathing" supercapacitor that performs better than those currently in use. Supercapacitors are sprinters when it comes to energy…

Sometimes, you just have to wonder about how certain technologies are stumbled upon. This one is no exception. According to Professor ZHU Xifeng's team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of…
