How to turn three niche industries into a pan-European competitive advantage

Now, researchers have developed a new way of producing more durable and longer lasting lithium-ion batteries.

To make supercapacitors fit for future electrics demands like, for example, wearables and paper electronics researchers are searching for ways to endow them with mechanical flexibility.

VTree is building a solar future base on three powerful concepts: solar energy, internet and great design.

Ultra-thin, flexible screen-printed batteries for cheap portable devices and intermittent renewable energy are closer to reality.

Technologies with new form factors, wearables, and future devices cannot be achieved with traditonal batteries.

"The purpose of the "Adaptive City Mobility" project is the development of a complete, emission-free mobility concept for cities.

Modern batteries power everything from cars to cell phones, but they are far from perfect - they catch fire, they perform poorly in cold weather and they have relatively short lifecycles, among other issues. Now researchers have described a new class of material that addresses many of those concerns.

If electric cars could recharge while driving down a highway, it would virtually eliminate concerns about their range and lower their cost, perhaps making electricity the standard fuel for vehicles.

Student have tripled the specific capacitance of nitrogen-doped carbons: new materials with potential applications in fast energy storage.

Stored energy from electric vehicles can be used to power large buildings - creating new possibilities for the future of smart, renewable energy - thanks to ground-breaking battery research.

Scientists have invented a new type of supercapacitor material with a host of potential applications in electronics, transportation and energy storage devices.
