In groundbreaking research, scientists have made a structural battery 10 times better than in any previous experiment. What’s a structural battery, and why is it such a big deal? The term refers to an ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have succeeded in creating a battery made of carbon fibre composite that is as stiff as aluminium and energy-dense enough to be used commercially. When ...

Startups are attempting to put energy storage anywhere and everywhere.

Batteries are at the core of green and clean technologies that propel forward the automotive, mobility, and aerospace segments. All these markets demand both high energy density for energy storage and ...

An electrified future is going to require a whole lot of batteries. Keeping our power grids stable and our cars running won’t only necessitate huge increases in production for current battery models, ...

Building on the trailblazing carbon-fiber-as-a-battery work started at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, deep-tech startup Sinonus is working to commercialize a groundbreaking new breed of ...

Professor Seong Su Kim’s group from the Department of Mechanical Engineering (KAIST) has developed a thin, uniform, high-density structural carbon fiber composite battery. This multifunctional battery ...

Structural batteries are a "massless" alternative to traditional batteries because they are designed to produce and store energy while also serving as a load-bearing part of a vehicle's structure. A ...

(Nanowerk News) When cars, planes, ships or computers are built from a material that functions as both a battery and a load-bearing structure, the weight and energy consumption are radically reduced.
