A new lightweight sodium metal fuel cell could enable practical electric flight by surpassing the limits of lithium-ion ...

Herein, we employed a new type of carbon tube with a whisker structure and excellent electrical conductivity, named as whisker CT (wCT), and used graphene oxide (GO) as a bridging and foaming agent to ...

These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today’s best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for ...

Engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion batteries. Powered by a reaction between sodium metal and air, the device could be ...

Batteries are nearing their limits in terms of how much power they can store for a given weight. That's a serious obstacle ...
