Zero-emissions air travel may be one step closer after scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled a new type of sodium fuel cell that could one day make electric-powered flight ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a new type of material that could make sodium batteries more efficient. Developed by an international ...

Batteries are nearing their limits in terms of how much power they can store for a given weight. That's a serious obstacle for energy innovation and the search for new ways to power airplanes, trains, ...

Sodium layered oxide-based cathodes of sodium-ion batteries commonly suffer from structural degradation. Here, authors propose entropy regulation with zero Li/Co usage to suppress lattice strain, ...

A new sodium-based battery material is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a lithium-ion battery and might deliver more energy than current battery technologies. Scientists at the ...

Sodium secondary batteries have a similar working principle to lithium secondary batteries, but are low-cost and are expected to serve a powerful supplement to lithium secondary batteries. Solid-state ...

Researchers have discovered a low-energy way to recycle Teflon® by using mechanical motion and sodium metal. The process turns the notoriously durable plastic into sodium fluoride that can be reused ...
