New evidence shows that a tiny barrier inside solid-state battery cells can decide whether fast-charging will be common in the near future.

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

Scientists discovered that a nanoscale layer of silver strengthens solid-state batteries. This breakthrough prevents cracks, ...

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Here's a sobering thought: you'll spend roughly 1,700 hours this year sitting at your desk. That's more time than you'll spend exercising, cooking, or even sleeping on weekends. Yet most people put ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

However, due to its fragility, aerogel has played a vital role in space exploration. Aerogels are 99.8 per cent air. They are ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

This achievement fully resolves long-standing materials and manufacturing challenges linked to solid-state batteries.

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

A research team has developed a hierarchical-shell perovskite nanocrystal technology that simultaneously overcomes the ...
