Improved Cathode Material for Electric Vehicle Batteries

Researchers have developed a novel material for lithium-ion batteries powering electric vehicles. With its ultrahigh energy density, the new cathode material promises longer driving ranges on one charge. The material is a familiar nickel-rich layered transition metal oxide, but with an altered microstructure that packs more energy per unit volume.

Walking Robot Design Could Revolutionise How We Build Things in Space

Researchers have designed a state-of-the-art walking robot that could revolutionize large construction projects in space. They tested the feasibility of the robot for the in-space assembly of a 25m Large Aperture Space Telescope.

3D Printing Plant Cells Shows Promise

A new study shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning more about how plant cells communicate with each other - and with their environment - is key to understanding more about plant cell functions and could ultimately lead to creating better crop varieties and optimal growing environments.

Smart Plastic Material a Step Toward Soft, Flexible Electronics

Inspired by living things from trees to shellfish, researchers set out to create a plastic much like many life forms that are hard and rigid in some places and soft and stretchy in others­. Their success — a first, using only light and a catalyst to change properties such as hardness and elasticity in molecules of the same type — has brought about a new material that is 10 times as tough as natural rubber and could lead to more flexible electronics and robotics.
