The journey for Trevor Jackson started, as many things do in tech, with research. He’d become fascinated by the experiments done not with lithium batteries, which had come to dominate the battery industry, but with so-called...

Electric automakers in China now have an added task beyond just manufacturing vehicles: dealing with batteries. Reuters said the country's industry ministry put out interim rules this week holding electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers...

Chemists at the University of Toronto have developed a new battery that stores energy in a cathode derived from vitamins. The breakthrough could eventually lead to batteries that are much cheaper and more environmentally...

Do you find yourself left with an abundance of leftover fruit from apple-picking each fall? New research has figured out what to do with all those rotten apples by turning them into a hard carbon material to fuel sodium-ion...

Though the obstacles to a clean energy economy are largely political, one particular technological challenge to this goal is the expense and capacity of storage batteries...

A team of Ohio State University scientists have invented what they claim is the world's first rechargeable solar battery. The team observed the issues in current methods for collecting and storing solar energy - particularly...

Fans of electric aviation rejoice - GreenWing International's eSpyder plane just hit the market, and it costs just under $40,000. The plane comes as a DIY kit that you have to build like a model airplane - except it's one...

When it comes to electric vehicles, form sometimes takes a back seat to function.  Not with the M-1 e-bike from Marrs Cycles!  This gorgeous cruiser looks like the offspring of a vintage Schwinn and a Harley, and with an...

British scientists have created a lithium jelly that could be used to make safer, cheaper and less toxic batteries. The new gel would replace the liquid electrolytes in common lithium batteries, which are hazardous and toxic....

An intrepid team of researchers at MIT have made a remarkable find in lithium battery technology – by using carbon nanotubes as one of a battery’s electrodes, they can increase the amount of power it can deliver by...
