Bertrand Piccard: Aviation Can Address the Carbon Challenge, Here’s How
Bertrand Piccard makes no apologies for being an aviation enthusiast, and believes that despite its current woes the industry has been made a scapegoat for carbon emissions, [...]
The Motivation for Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Global air travel consumes more than 100 billion gallons of jet fuel annually. That’s expected to more than double by 2025 to 230 billion gallons. Despite the current [...]
LBNL Develops Renewable Jet Fuel
Air travel emissions have a huge negative impact on the environment due to greenhouse gas emissions from traditional jet fuel. As a result, there is a high demand for [...]
Sodium Battery Work: Li-Ion Performance
Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, used in numerous applications such as cell phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But they are made from materials, such as cobalt and [...]
A Step Closer to Fast-Charging Batteries
Most of us have probably not thought about cracking the code of “traffic management” inside a lithium ion battery. But a team of researchers at Brookhaven [...]
New Battery Electrolyte May Boost Performance
A cost-effective new electrolyte invented by Stanford University scientists could pave the way for the next generation of battery-powered electric vehicles by reducing weight [...]
Using Silicon May Increase Battery Energy and Strength
The same material you’ll find at the tip of a pencil—graphite—has long been a key component in today’s lithium-ion batteries. As our reliance on these [...]
