Lithium-air batteries hold the promise of storing electricity at up to five times the energy density of today’s familiar lithium-ion batteries, but they have inherent shortcomings. Researchers have helped prove that a new prototype is powered by a surprising chemical reaction that may solve the new battery’s biggest drawback. Read…
Small voltage can flip thin film between two crystal states — one metallic, one semiconducting — new research indicates. The research involves a thin-film material called a strontium cobaltite, or SrCoOx.

A true-muonium only lives for two microseconds. These atoms are made up one positively and one negatively charged elementary particle, also known as muons. Although they have yet to be observed experimentally, a theoretical physicist has come up with new ways of creating them, in principle, via particle collisions. Read…

SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA) is launching a new high-voltage battery compatible inverter for private households. With the new SMA Sunny Boy Storage SMA is the only provider that can currently offer an AC-coupled system for high-voltage batteries. The Sunny Boy Storage ensures the cost-effective, easy and flexible integration of…
After hours of steady rain, there is not a ray of sunshine in sight and the mud is thick on the ground at the $20 million Jemalong pilot solar thermal plant near Forbes in central west New South Wales. But in a way, the fact it is overcast helps to…
