Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

What if the future of energy storage was already here, quietly reshaping industries and redefining possibilities? For decades, solid-state batteries have been heralded as the holy grail of energy ...

Solid-state batteries charge in a fraction of the time, run cooler, and pack more energy into less space than traditional lithium-ion versions. A new review from the University of California, ...

Solid-state batteries have long been billed as the "holy grail" of sustainable driving. Proponents say they offer safer, cheaper and more powerful batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), as well as ...

Drones have transformed from novelties to necessities. From battlefield reconnaissance to wildfire monitoring, unmanned aircraft are reshaping how we approach national security and emergency response.

Solid-state batteries promise everything EV buyers want, but Honda and Toyota’s latest patents show the hardest work happens long before production ever begins. Solid-state batteries promise more ...

Automakers and cell producers have recently doubled down on timelines for the commercial production of solid-state batteries. Some of the car giants jostling for pole position in this push include ...
