Researchers developed a "plug-and-play" biobattery that lasts for weeks at a time and can be stacked to improve output voltage and current.

Can we survive three minutes without air or three days without water? How about without batteries? Imagine not having a battery for 3 hours.

This feat of technological integration could unlock new understanding of intestinal metabolite composition, impacting human health overall.

The need is growing fast for economical, large-scale backup systems to provide power when the sun is down and the air is calm.

By using a solid electrolyte instead of the typical liquid solution, solid-state batteries can store considerably more energy by weight.

Radioactive diamond batteries were immediately acclaimed because they promised a new, cost-effective way of recycling nuclear waste.

Researchers are betting on humble aqueous batteries – with water-based electrolytes – generally regarded as safe, reliable and affordable.

Can we survive three minutes without air or three days without water? How about without batteries? Imagine not having a battery for 3 hours.

Researchers have developed a new kind of battery, made entirely from abundant and inexpensive materials, that could help to fill that gap.

Watson College of Engineering has been working for years on biobatteries, which generate electricity through bacterial interaction.

Researchers claim that they can increase the autonomy of an electric car by up to 80%, and that it can charge from 0 to 80% in just 15 min.

Pacemakers and other medical devices, as well as long-distance drones and remote sensors, would require fewer battery replacements.

Can we survive three minutes without air or three days without water? How about without batteries? Imagine not having a battery for 3 hours.

As the world builds out ever larger installations of wind and solar power systems, the need is growing fast for economical batteries.

The device uses light and a technique called optogenetics, which modifies cells that are sensitive to light to affect their behavior.

Radioactive diamond batteries were immediately acclaimed because they promised a new, cost-effective way of recycling nuclear waste.

By using a solid electrolyte instead of the typical liquid solution, solid-state batteries can store considerably more energy by weight.

EV batteries need to overcome two major drawbacks: they are too slow to recharge and too large to be efficient and affordable.

The device could help scientists explore unknown regions of the ocean, track pollution, or monitor the effects of climate change.

In a little over a decade, the research team found, rapid EV growth alone could increase peak electricity demand by up to 25 percent.
