In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use ...

A new sodium-based battery material is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a lithium-ion battery and might deliver more energy than current battery technologies. Scientists at the ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are rechargeable batteries that contain an anode (i.e., the electrode through which current flows and a loss of electrons occurs) made of lithium metal. Compared to ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland have taken a significant step toward making lithium-metal all-solid-state batteries commercially viable. The next-generation batteries ...

Scientists from John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a new type of solid state battery. One of the biggest challenges in the design of these batteries is the ...

The ongoing electrification of everyday items has resulted in the proliferation of batteries, and spurred continued development for automotive and grid use. Lithium-ion batteries still dominate the ...

A novel lithium metal battery that can be recharged in a couple of minutes and charged and drained at least 6,000 times, more than any existing pouch battery cell, has been developed by researchers at ...

Jinsong Zhang (left) and Mario El Kazzi with a test cell of the all-solid-state battery developed at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. The two researchers developed a process that combines mild ...

Nikesh Kooverjee has been contributing to the automotive sphere for 11 years. His previous roles include Digital Editor at CAR South Africa and associate editor at CarBuzz. He has always had a strong ...
