Another key reason CATL, BYD, and others are investing in sodium-ion batteries is to mitigate rising lithium prices. Sodium ...

Sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage are moving toward the mainstream. Wider use of these batteries could lead to lower costs, less fire risk, and less need for lithium, ...

For the first time, the quantum properties of two separated ions have been manipulated by microwaves, instead of the usual laser beams. Experiments performed by researchers at the U.S. National ...

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

What if the future of energy storage didn’t rely on expensive, hard-to-source materials like lithium? In the video below, Ziroth breaks down how CATL’s reinforced sodium-ion battery could redefine the ...

Research at the Quantum Systems Accelerator has been steadily breaking new ground, quickening the pace toward flexible, stable quantum computers with capabilities well beyond those of today's ...

While lithium ion battery prices are falling again, interest in sodium ion (Na-ion) energy storage has not waned. With a global ramp-up of cell manufacturing capacity under way, it remains unclear ...

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

These days, batteries are found in just about every electronic device you could imagine. From phones to lawn mowers to cars, the items that make life in the modern world happen to do so with a battery ...

Two years ago, sodium-ion battery pioneer Natron Energy was busy preparing its specially formulated sodium batteries for mass production. The company slipped a little past its 2023 kickoff plans, but ...
