A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no less complex. It involves an intricate interplay of materials that influences an electric vehicle’s range, charging ...

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

Conventional batteries have anodes and cathodes, but a new design from the University of Chicago and the University of California San Diego lacks an anode. While this has been done before, according ...

Scientists have created an anode-free sodium solid-state battery. This brings the reality of inexpensive, fast-charging, high-capacity batteries for electric vehicles and grid storage closer than ever ...

A research team has developed a low-cost iron chloride cathode for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, which could significantly reduce costs and improve performance for electric vehicles and large ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A team of South Korean scientists has just reported a massive breakthrough in electric vehicle battery tech, revealing an “anode-free” lithium metal battery that nearly doubles energy density without ...

If the EV momentum is to be kept up so that America can truly buck our century-old oil addiction, we'll need new, bigger supplies of battery materials than we've ever seen before. And, on the flip ...

Electric vehicles are advancing at an incredible pace, but we’re very much still in the early days. The Tesla Model S and X still use battery cell formats never imagined for use in cars. A lot is ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Large-capacity rechargeable batteries capable of sustaining repeated charge-discharge cycles are expected to become core technologies for electric vehicles and other elements of an ...

The trend line toward automotive electrification is pointing up and to the right, even if its slope isn’t constant. So electrical and chemical engineers are beavering away to make electric mobility as ...
