A team at EPFL and the University of Arizona has discovered that making molecules bigger and more flexible can actually ...

With electric vehicles, the challenge for battery makers is straightforward: make batteries that can hold more energy, so the ...

Electric vehicles leave behind mountains of dead lithium-ion batteries. A new “injection” brings them back to life ...

A team of researchers in China has found a way to bring dead lithium-ion batteries back to life, potentially reducing both ...

The ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.

Previous experiments had tried to use water flowing through nanoscale tubes to capture electric charge. However, not only does the charge from flowing water decay more rapidly, but when tubes that ...

ordered from most electrical power generated (left) to least (right). Previous experiments have found that water running through a conductive tube also creates charge separation. As the water ...

This segmented flow allows electrical charges to build along the conductive inner surface ... Although the droplet speeds used in the experiment were slower than natural rainfall, researchers believe ...

These experiments showed that the largest change in charge ... produce the charging effect we observed,” he says. Understanding how and why electric charge is generated as liquids flow during over ...

The film discusses how atoms are made of particles, including electrons, and illustrates the concept of electric charge through experiments with balloons and other objects. It also touches on the ...
