A commercial sodium-ion battery from Chinese manufacturer Hina matches Tesla's lithium-ion cells on manufacturing quality and internal design, according to an independent teardown published in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports Physical Science.
Honda Motor Co. and QuantumScape Corporation announced a strategic partnership on November 16, 2023, to advance the commercialization of solid-state batteries. This collaboration aims to integrate QuantumScape's proprietary solid-state battery technology into Honda's future electric vehicles (EVs) and potentially other…
Honda announced a new partnership with American startup QuantumScape on March 20, 2024, to accelerate the development of solid-state batteries and their manufacturing processes for electric vehicles. This collaboration aims to leverage QuantumScape's proprietary solid-state battery technology, which promises higher…
Physicists are expanding their search for dark matter, shifting focus from weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) due to interference from neutrinos, which create a "neutrino fog" that obscures dark matter signals.
Ford began producing low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in the United States this week, marking a significant step in its electric vehicle (EV) strategy. These LFP cells will initially power Ford's upcoming $30,000 midsize EV pickup truck, making…
Solid-state batteries are now powering electric vehicles (EVs) on public roads in North America for the first time, marking a significant step towards their commercialization. QuantumScape, a company developing this next-generation battery technology, announced on March 18, 2024…
Stellantis began real-world testing of a semi-solid-state battery in a Dodge Charger EV prototype this week, exploring the technology's viability. This experimental battery aims to address limitations of current lithium-ion technology, such as energy density and charging speeds.
General Motors (GM) is exploring alternatives to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology, despite its widespread adoption due to low cost. GM's Chief Financial Officer, Paul Jacobson, stated this week that while LFP is a "great chemistry" for cost reduction…
Solid-state electric vehicle batteries have begun on-road testing in North America this week, marking a significant step towards commercialization. These next-generation batteries are engineered to offer substantial improvements over current lithium-ion technology, including an estimated 30% increase in energy density…
Jesse Davis, a computer science professor at KU Leuven and head of its Sports Analytics Lab, is leading a data renaissance in soccer by employing AI and data analytics to uncover tactical patterns and challenge traditional assumptions about the sport.
China is rapidly expanding its nuclear power capacity, having nearly doubled its fleet since 2016 to reach approximately 60 gigawatts. The new facilities predominantly consist of gigawatt-scale pressurized-water reactors. In contrast, the United States has commissioned only two new reactors…
General Motors (GM) announced a strategic partnership with Peak Energy on March 18, 2024, to develop next-generation sodium-ion battery cells. This collaboration will focus on battery cells designed for grid-scale energy storage projects, rather than electric vehicles (EVs).
