In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found a way to prevent electrical malfunctions in yarns designed to store electrical energy. Ultimately, the findings could help advance the development of “smart textiles” that would capture energy from the wearer’s movements and power sensors and wearable electronics. The researchers reported in […]
GS Yuasa Lithium Power (GYLP) has announced the successful completion of the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for a new scalable small form factor battery design. With PDR complete the battery design will now move into the critical design phase. GYLP’s design integrates the recently qualified LSE12x Lithium-ion Cell developed by GS Yuasa […]
While electric vehicles have reaped the rewards of new high-energy lithium-ion batteries and rapid charging technology, challenges remain. For example, although cars can cover longer distances between charges, and battery charging times have reduced, the lifespan of those batteries has also decreased, and low heat dissipation efficiency has led to safety issues. […]
Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, is supplying solar array technology that will power the newest of PlanetiQ’s weather and climate monitoring satellites, GNOMES-3, which is aboard the Transporter 4 launch scheduled to lift off on April 1, 2022 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station […]
A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar panels, just one micrometre thick (1um), convert light into electricity more efficiently than others as thin and pave the way to make it easier to general more clean, green […]
Flow batteries are promising for energy storage due to their high safety, high reliability, long cycle life, and high efficiency. The development of commercial-scale flow batteries for long-duration energy storage requires to reduce the cost of flow batteries, especially the cost of ion-exchange membranes. Recently, a research group led by […]
