MIT engineers create an energy-storing supercapacitor from ancient materials
From MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Written by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office, 02/08/23 Two of humanity’s most ubiquitous historical materials, cement and carbon black (which resembles very fine charcoal), may form the basis for a novel, low-cost energy storage system, according to a new study. The technology could facilitate the use of renewable energy sources […]
Innovators develop breakthrough stretchable fabric-based lithium-ion battery
From UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON 27/07/23 Most people already know and appreciate the capabilities of smart phones, now imagine the possibilities offered by smart spacesuits, uniforms and exercise clothes. The idea for this cutting-edge evolution of the lithium-ion battery came from the mind of Haleh Ardebili, Bill D. Cook Professor of Mechanical Engineering at UH. “As […]
