Commercialization of solid-state battery indicates a new era for the US $135bn addressable battery market in a decade. IDTechEx Research forecasts that the market for solid-state batteries will exceed $4bn in 2026.

Onion-like layers help this efficient new nanoparticle glow

A new, onion-like nanoparticle could open new frontiers in biomaging, solar energy harvesting and light-based security techniques.

Two-dimensional material moves from the lab to the UK factory floor

Graphene is a two-dimensional material made up of sheets of carbon atoms. With its combination of exceptional electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, graphene has the potential to revolutionise industries ranging from healthcare to electronics.

Internet of things wireless battery nominated for IET Award

A record-breaking RF energy harvester designed by researchers from Holst Centre and the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has been shortlisted for a prestigious Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Innovation Award.

A step forward for graphene walkers

Scientists in China have developed a graphene-based paper which can fold itself into predesigned shapes when exposed to light or gentle heat. The material, which is created from graphene oxide, can also 'walk' across a table and turn a corner. Potential applications of the material include sensors, artificial muscles and robotics.
