Solid state battery design charges in minutes, lasts for thousands of cycles

Research paves the way for better batteries: “Lithium metal anode batteries are considered the holy grail of batteries"

10-Jan-2024 - Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times — more than any other pouch battery cell — and can be recharged in a matter of minutes. The research ...

Breaking the black box of catalytic reactions

Research offers new understanding of complex catalysis, advances catalyst design

28-Feb-2022 - Many of the catalytic reactions that drive our modern world happen in an atomic black box. Scientists know all the components that go into a reaction, but not how they interact at an atomic level. Understanding the reaction pathways and kinetics of catalytic reactions at the atomic scale is ...

A long-lasting, stable solid-state lithium battery

Researchers demonstrate a solution to a 40-year problem

17-May-2021 - Long-lasting, quick-charging batteries are essential to the expansion of the electric vehicle market, but today's lithium-ion batteries fall short of what's needed -- they're too heavy, too expensive and take too long to charge. For decades, researchers have tried to harness the potential of ...

Wool-like material can remember and change shape

Material could be used in smart textiles, medical devices and more

09-Sep-2020 - As anyone who has ever straightened their hair knows, water is the enemy. Hair painstakingly straightened by heat will bounce back into curls the minute it touches water. Why? Because hair has shape memory. Its material properties allow it to change shape in response to certain stimuli and return ...
