A solid-state battery, where the liquid electrolyte that carries the charge is swapped out for a solid alternative, promises a number of performance benefits over today’s solutions, but there are a few problems to solve first. Scientists at Brown Unive… Continue reading Dash of graphene leads to “toughest” solid battery electrolyte to date
We’ve recently been hearing a lot about solid state batteries, which have some definite advantages over their conventional counterparts. Although they’re still not quite ready for everyday use, a newly developed butter-like substance could help change … Continue reading “Battery butter” could give solid state batteries a much-needed boost
At 50 percent smaller by volume than a typical lithium-ion battery, Samsung’s prototype solid-state pouch cells could enable 500-mile electric car ranges and cycle lives over 1,000 charges in a much safer package.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, Scien… Continue reading Samsung reveals long-range, solid-state, EV battery prototype
Not every computer is a performance gaming rig. Some of us need cheap laptops and tablets for simple Internet browsing or word processing, and we don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars just for that. With a cheaper price tag comes cheaper hardware, though, such as the eMMC standard which allows flash memory to be used in a more cost-advantageous way than SSDs. For a look at some the finer points of eMMC chips, we’ll turn to [Jason]’s latest project.
[Jason] had a few damaged eMMC storage chips and wanted to try to repair them. The most common failure …read more
The debt we all owe must be paid someday, and for inventor Robert N. Hall, that debt came due in 2016 at the ripe age of 96. Robert Hall’s passing went all but unnoticed by everyone but his family and a few close colleagues at General Electric’s Schenectady, New York research lab, where Hall spent his remarkable career.
That someone who lives for 96% of a century would outlive most of the people he had ever known is not surprising, but what’s more surprising is that more notice of his life and legacy wasn’t taken. Without his efforts, so many …read more
