Air-breathing battery can store electricity for months

Wind and solar power are increasingly popular sources for renewable energy. But intermittency issues keep them from connecting widely to the grid.

Optical blood-flow sensor among world's smallest for wearable devices

One of the smallest known optical blood-flow sensors, which measures the volume of blood flow in subcutaneous tissue.

24m Technologies

24M is a spin-out of battery company A123 that has developed a semi-solid, flexible electrode structure for their Li-ion batteries. We recently interviewed President and CEO Throop Wilder.

New concept turns battery technology upside-down

A new approach to the design of a liquid battery, using a passive, gravity-fed arrangement similar to an old-fashioned hourglass, could offer great advantages due to the system's low cost and the simplicity of its design and operation.

New manufacturing approach slices lithium-ion battery cost in half

Reinventing how these batteries are made also improves their performance and recyclability.
