When you picture a sci-fi energy source, glowing green crystals are right up there. Scientists in China have now demonstrated just that, in the form of a “micronuclear battery” that can provide continuous low levels of power for decades.Continue Readin… Continue reading Glowing crystal-powered nuclear battery boasts 8,000x efficiency boost
Researchers say they’ve built and tested a ‘structural battery’ that packs a device or EV’s chassis with energy, saving a ton of weight. It could unlock smartphones as thin as credit cards, laptops at half the weight and a 70% boost to EV range.Continu… Continue reading ‘Massless’ battery promises a 70% increase in EV range

Sweden’s Enerpoly has flung open the doors to its zinc-ion battery megafactory in the north of Stockholm – making it the first manufacturing facility to use this battery technology at a large scale in the world.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, Science… Continue reading World’s first zinc-ion battery megafactory opens for business
Ten-minute EV charging has been realized – quite nearly, at least. We’ve seen many “world’s fastest” EV battery charging claims roll through in recent months and years, but most relate to battery tech that’s still deep in the research or prototype phases. This week, Chinese auto manufacturer Zeekr staked a new claim on the title, but this one’s for the 800-V lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery in the updated 007 sedan launching in mere days.
