After decades of lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, a new option has emerged: batteries made with sodium ions.

Researchers at Imperial College London, supported by colleagues at a range of other institutions, have published a study in ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is like an immensely powerful kitchen, designed to cook up some of the rarest and hottest ...

An international team of scientists has identified a surprising factor that accelerates the degradation of lithium-ion batteries leading to a steady loss of charge. This discovery provides a new ...

A machine learning model has identified Na[Mn0.36Ni0.44Ti0.15Fe0.05]O2 as the optimum composition to attain the highest ...

In a recent article, researchers investigated the electronic and electrochemical performance of pristine and endohedral doped Ge12C12 and Si12C12 nanocages for use as Li-ion battery anodes, with ...

A Massachusetts-based company has created a new electric vehicle battery that could provide 1,000 miles of range on a single charge ... metal instead of lithium-ion, an approach that Fast Company ...

Lithium-ion has proven so successful due, in part, to its very high energy density, lack of the “memory effect” (where cells become more difficult to charge over time) unlike previous battery ...

Overcharging occurs when you charge your battery after it is charged to its full capacity. In simple words, charging a battery beyond 100% is overcharging. In a Lithium-ion battery, overcharging ...

This couldn’t be more wrong for lithium-ion batteries. It’s a leftover myth from lead-acid cells, and it’s pretty undesirable to charge your modern smartphone this way. According to iFixit ...

If your phone won't charge when you plug it in, try this easy solution at home before spending money on a repair. Andrew is CNET's go-to guy for product coverage and lead photographer for Europe.
