If every house were to implement this energy storage "solution", a single dielectric failure could lead to a sizeable chain reaction and release of energy, as adjacent houses suffered mechanical shock and failure.

Humans are constantly on the go, so doesn’t it make sense to harness some of that kinetic energy? Scientists from UCLA and the University of Connecticut asked themselves that question, which eventually led to them developing...

With the aid of one of the strongest materials on Earth, a researcher at Australia’s Swinburne University has created a battery that charges up super fast and can be used over and over and over again, without losing efficiency...

Graphene is a super material that is 100 times stronger than steel, conducts electricity better than copper, and is more flexible than rubber. It's used in electronics but it's prohibitively expensive to produce - so David...

Electronics that rely on batteries have the disadvantage of succumbing to obsolescence once their charging and discharging cycles have reached their limit, but one firm is moving away from that model...

It's hard enough being tied to your cell phone without having to worry about getting the "Low Battery Icon of Death" right in the middle of an important task - and charging up via wall outlets takes forever...

It is hard enough being tied to your cellphone without having to worry whether or not you will be presented with the Low Battery Icon of Death right in the middle of an important task...

When it comes to capturing the energy of the sun, what better model is there than photosynthetic plants? Researchers at North Carolina State University have cultivated a beautiful crop of germanium sulfide (GeS) “nanoflowers”...

Genius just took a big step forward for computer peripherals by launching the world’s first wireless battery-free mouse. The mighty mouse eschews wasteful AAAs and heavier lithium-ion batteries in favor of an electric...

Students at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey have created a supercapacitor — used for storing energy — that replaces activated carbon with biochar electrodes...
