The advancement in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and healthcare may have stolen the show at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2024, but it is battery technology that lies at the heart of these groundbreaking innovations. The focus on battery technology is especially prominent in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), where researchers are striving for
A novel approach to address environmental challenges is developing and commercializing robust hydrogen fuel cells. These fuel cells contain a polymer electrolyte membrane that acts as a barrier between the electrodes. While the membrane conducts protons, it inhibits the movement of electrons, hydrogen molecules, and oxygen molecules. However, the repetitive deformation of the membrane over
The stability of the electric grid is an ongoing concern as the world increasingly relies on intermittent renewable power sources. In recent years, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have made significant progress in predicting grid stability using signals from pumped storage hydropower projects. This article delves into their
The airline manufacturing industry is currently grappling with various challenges that are causing delays and disruptions in aircraft production. Two major players in this sector, Boeing and Airbus, are facing supply chain constraints, which are affecting their ability to deliver aircraft on schedule. While Boeing is dealing with the aftermath of the 737 MAX crisis,
In recent years, engineers and chemists have been dedicating their efforts to advancing battery technologies in order to meet the increasing demands of the electronics industry. One of the promising developments in the field is the emergence of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), ASSBs consist of a solid electrolyte positioned between two
Apple’s highly anticipated Vision Pro headset is set to hit store shelves on Friday, signaling a new era of “spatial computing.” This futuristic device aims to revolutionize the way we interact with technology and merge the physical and virtual worlds. With a price tag of $3,500, analysts predict that Apple may sell around 1 million
Apple, the tech giant, has managed to break out of a yearlong sales slump with its strong performance during the holiday season. The company’s revenue growth in the October-December period signaled the end of four consecutive quarters of declining sales. However, while Apple’s latest results show promise, there are concerns about its ability to maintain
In recent years, the field of cinematography has been revolutionized by advancements in drone technology and camera systems. These developments have enabled filmmakers to capture scenes from unique angles and in higher resolutions than ever before.
