Manufacturers routinely bake moisture out of sodium vanadium oxide. A University of Surrey team skipped that step and got a cathode that stores twice the charge, survives 400 cycles — and pulls salt out of seawater while it runs.
A modified pyrimidone molecule absorbs sunlight, locks it away as chemical strain, and releases it later as heat on demand — at 1.6 megajoules per kilogram.
A prototype from CSIRO, RMIT, and the University of Melbourne harnesses quantum superposition to store energy, validating a stunning prediction that defies conventional battery physics.
Australian researchers demonstrated a complete quantum energy cycle for the first time, with the counterintuitive finding that quantum batteries charge faster as they grow larger.
Researchers freeze key molecular structures to reveal how electrical charges move so efficiently through biological systems and advanced technologies.
Researchers reveal how phosphoric acid efficiently moves electrical charges in biology and technology by freezing key molecular structures to near absolute zero.
Scientists develop revolutionary molten salt synthesis method that creates ultra-precise atomic surfaces for advanced energy applications.
Breakthrough research reveals how phosphoric acid efficiently conducts electrical charges in both living systems and energy technologies.
New molten salt technique creates perfectly ordered atomic surfaces, transforming ultra-thin materials for next-generation electronics and energy storage.
A team from CSIRO and RMIT University completed the first full charge-store-discharge cycle of a quantum battery — and found it charges faster the larger it grows, the opposite of every conventional battery ever made.
Researchers at CSIRO, RMIT University, and the University of Melbourne demonstrated a complete charge-store-discharge cycle at room temperature, exploiting quantum superextensive charging to achieve a counterintuitive property: the bigger it gets, the faster it charges.
