The road to longer battery life
Are you sick of your phone’s battery dying after only a few hours? Researchers are hard at work on improving something called the solid electrolyte interphase as a way to boost battery life.
Ringing in new way to measure, modulate trapped light
Researchers have developed a novel way to noninvasively measure and map how and where trapped light vibrates within microscale optical resonators. Visualizing the vibration patterns will help scientists to perfect ultrasensitive optical sensors for detecting biomolecules and even single atoms.

Next-gen pacemakers may be powered by unlikely source: The heart
Researchers are developing technology to make pacemakers battery-free. The advancement is based upon a piezoelectric system that converts vibrational energy — created inside the chest by each heartbeat — into electricity to power the pacemaker.
Research team uncovers internal temperature maximum and offers path toward safer fast-charging of lithium-ion batteries

A new green power source
To limit climate change, experts say that we need to reach carbon neutrality by the end of this century at the latest. To achieve that goal, our dependence on fossil fuels must be reversed. But what energy source will take its place? Researchers report that they just might have the answer: blue-green algae.
Goodyear Releases Electricity-Generating Tire Concept
Electric Cars | Future Technology | TransportationWe’ve been getting a lot of positive news about electric cars recently. This week at the Geneva International Auto Show, Goodyear unveiled a new concept tire called the BH03. While we don’t know why it is called that, we do know that Goodyear’s new tire looks radical and could potentially generate electricity for electric cars […]

Toward liquid fuels from carbon dioxide
In the quest for sustainable alternative energy and fuel sources, one viable solution may be the conversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into liquid fuels, say scientists.
