Amazingly simple discovery extends Li-ion battery lifespan by 50% — meaning you don't have to replace your gadgets as often
Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan.
World's biggest battery coming to Maine — and it could store 130 million times more energy than your laptop
The battery storage system will be able to store 8,500 megawatt-hours of energy — which is 130 million times the capacity of the best laptops today.
World's fastest charger can fully power up your smartphone in under 5 minutes
New record-breaking fast-charging technology can power up your smartphone battery quicker than you can write an email.
Next-gen quantum computers could be powered using chip with high-energy lasers made 10,000 times smaller
High-powered titanium:sapphire lasers have been shrunk down with scientists planning to cram hundreds or thousands onto a four-inch wafer in a new chip.
Massive 100-inch transparent screen set to enter production — scientists claim it will be 10 times cheaper than transparent OLEDs
Researchers say the screen can work both indoors and outdoors, and can be adjusted to become more or less transparent depending on user needs.
'Holy grail' of solar technology set to consign 'unsustainable silicon' to history
Solar energy breakthrough sees scientists stabilize perovskite crystals for use in future solar panels, promising more efficient and sustainable green technology.
DARPA's military-grade 'quantum laser' will use entangled photons to outshine conventional laser beams
Prototype quantum photonic-dimer laser uses entanglement to bind photons and deliver a powerful beam of concentrated light that can shine through adverse weather like thick fog.
Razor-thin silk 'dampens noise by 75%' — could be game-changer for sound-proofing homes and offices
Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.
