Smart chip tells you how healthy your battery is
A smart chip that can tell you how healthy is your battery and if it is safe for use, has been developed by researchers.
US court rules Obama’s Clean Power Plan can advance
A US federal court has ruled that President Barack Obama’s landmark plan to reduce power plant CO2 emissions can advance while it weighs legal challenges brought by dozens of opponents.
New process provides renewable fuel
Renewable fuels from pyrolysis bio-oil has been created by researchers. Pyrolysis bio-oil is produced by rapidly heating the forest residues in an oxygen-free environment and then rapidly cooling the products formed. By co-gasification with black liquor, a renewable fuel is produced.
Promising new prototype of battery
An alternative technology to Li-ion has been designed for application in specific sectors. The researchers have developed the first battery using sodium ions in the usual “18650” format, an industry standard. The main advantage of the prototype is that it relies on sodium, an element far more abundant and less costly than lithium. The batteries have displayed performance levels comparable to their lithium counterparts, and this new technology is already attracting industrial interest. It could be used to store renewable energies in the future, say researchers.

Two-stage power management system boosts energy-harvesting efficiency
A two-stage power management and storage system could dramatically improve the efficiency of triboelectric generators that harvest energy from irregular human motion such as walking, running or finger tapping.
