8+ hour, 56+ min ago   (1323+ words) Imagine a battery made entirely of solid carbon, heated to temperatures hotter than molten lava, that can store renewable electricity and release it around the clock as industrial heat or grid power. That is exactly what California-based Antora Energy has…...

6+ hour, 17+ min ago   (80+ words) A team of researchers at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad has shown that an ordinary kitchen staple, corn starch, can be transformed into a surprisingly capable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries when it is combined with the right additives. In work…...

7+ hour, 36+ min ago   (489+ words) Tin halide perovskites have long been the tantalizing alternative to lead-based perovskites in next-generation solar cells. They offer a narrower bandgap that is ideal for harvesting more of the solar spectrum, and they replace toxic lead with an environmentally friendlier…...

10+ hour, 10+ min ago   (698+ words) Perovskite solar cells have spent more than a decade rewriting the record books, but the most valuable real estate in these devices has always been the interface, the razor-thin boundary where the light-absorbing perovskite layer meets the contacts that siphon…...

10+ hour, 49+ min ago   (607+ words) Every year, millions of lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their lives, and most of the graphite inside them is quietly thrown away....
