Devices for organic high-capacity memories

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has announced that Kamal Asadi, a physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, receives the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award of the foundation.

EV Battery and Supercapacitor

IDTechEx has visited many supercapacitor manufacturers and interviewed several professors who have presented at IDTechEx events on the subject. This article highlights some of our findings from those interviews.

Supercapacitors for electric vehicles are gaining traction

The replacement of batteries means grabbing a chunk of the lithium-ion battery market in particular but also inroads into lead-acid and nickel metal hydride territory.

Supercapacitors can destroy the lithium-ion battery market

As tracked by market research company IDTechEx and further explained in the recently updated report Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors: Supercapacitors 2014-2024, supercapacitors are improving faster than lithium-ion batteries in most respects.

CSR unveils 100% supercapacitor-powered tram

CSR Zhuzhou, China, has unveiled what it claims is the world's first 100% supercapacitor-powered low-floor tram.

Supercapacitors Leap Ahead: Electric Vehicles, Graphene & Printing

Consider three supercapacitor riddles as we reveal how the supercapacitor industry is in good health in 2014 with added potential. What takes a lot of space and no space? What has a rival that is a partner? What do fuel cells need next?

Supercapacitors on batteries: More than meets the eye

It is now commonplace for supercapacitors to be placed across lithium-ion batteries. Indeed, in some applications, the battery is now omitted and the supercapacitor does the job on its own as with some hybrid and pure electric bus traction systems and power tools.
