А team of scientists successfully used algae to power a low-energy computer chip for a period of six months. The team from the University of Cambridge closed a cyanobacteria colony (blue-green algae) in a metal enclosure the size of an AA battery. They left the unit near a window and […]
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have found a way to make a battery which will last for years. They came to the discovery by using a gold nanowire in electrolyte gel rather than a lithium one. Hence, the battery could withstand 200,000 cycles of charging and lose only […]
Nano-diamond self charging batteries may change energy as we know it. The Californian company NDB which made these batteries explains that they have superior density and can last anywhere from a decade to 28,000 years without having to be charged. The startup notes that they have successfully created this universal […]
After decades of bans on its cultivation, hemp is making its comeback in the US and according to scientists, its fibers can contain as much energy and power as graphene which has long been the model material for supercapacitators. Though hemp and marijuana come from similar plant species, they’re distinct […]
