Can magnesium batteries revolutionize battery technology?
Researchers from all across Europe are pooling their efforts into the development of new types of magnesium batteries. They hope that the budding energy storage system can offer an alternative to lithium-ion batteries that is cheaper, more effective, and safer in terms of manufacture and usage. In the E-MAGIC research project, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is working […]

Ferroelectric laser-generated crystals in glass may enable faster, more efficient optical communication systems
In an earlier experiment, researchers reported generating a new class of solid crystals by heating atoms within a glass matrix with a laser until they rearranged themselves into a rotating lattice. Their follow-up experiment proved that these laser-generated crystals could also keep their functionality as ferroelectric materials. A ferroelectric material is capable of undergoing electric polarization at […]

Researchers are developing an energy-efficient method of converting methane into carbon nanotubes
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is looking to get the most value out of the vast natural gas deposits in North America. It recently provided a big federal grant to Rice researchers, who would come up with an efficient yet inexpensive way to turn methane gas into carbon nanotubes. Being an allotrope, or alternative form of […]

Japanese researchers develop a micro-electromechanical energy harvester that runs on ambient energy
Even as internet of things devices grow ever smaller, they continue to require more power. But most of these smart devices are too small to fit batteries and power cords might restrict them. This led Japanese researchers to refine an existing tool which could collect electromechanical energy from its surroundings. Their new energy harvester is called a micro-electronic mechanical system (MEMS). […]

Study: Is a “proton highway” the key to developing high-power batteries?
More than 200 years ago, a Lithuanian researcher came up with a theory regarding the transportation of electric charges through an electrolyte. Today, his concept of a “proton highway” could enable energy storage systems for electrical grids, electric vehicles, and other high-power uses. In a study supported by the Oregon State University and other academic […]

Researchers develop anti-reflection coatings that make transparent plastics “virtually invisible”
A Pennsylvania-based research team came up with an improved anti-reflection coating that reduces glare. When applied to transparent plastics, the layer made the plastic material invisible to the naked eye. The researchers were working on small and extremely efficient solar cells that gathered focused light from plastic lenses. They required an anti-reflection coating that could reduce the amount of light […]

The future of batteries: Researchers are one step closer to developing a battery made entirely from organic radical polymers
Texan researchers recently overcame a tall hurdle in their long-standing quest to create an efficient battery made entirely from natural and sustainable materials. They identified an organic radical polymer that could potentially charge and discharge electricity at a much faster rate than the non-organic materials in older types of batteries. There are many obstacles in the road to […]

Researchers use new computational method to determine magnetic quantum effects in solids
An international team of researchers finally figured out how to predict the magnetic quantum effects on solid crystals. By using a different theoretical method, they could overcome some of the drawbacks of a long-standing model. The atoms and molecules of solid crystals are organized in 3D shapes. These structures give the crystal their distinct form and […]

REALLY clean energy: Solar cells are now made from lead-free materials
Solar cells will soon become even cleaner and safer for humans without sacrificing cost and efficiency. The new perovskovite materials developed by Korean researchers do not have a single molecule of dangerous lead in them, making them safe for commercial use. Perovskovites are a class of materials with a crystalline structure similar to natural perovskite. They are […]

Rocks could be the next best thing in energy storage
Beneath the waters off the coasts of certain countries lie layers of rocks that can allow the passage of air and water through them. Scottish researchers suggested that the porous rock formations off the North Sea coastline of the U.K. could serve as storage areas for renewable energy over long periods of time. Based on the […]
