Two cups of warm water don't make one cup of boiling water. But in the quantum world, multiple low-energy photons can combine ...

Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating technologies that do not rely on climate-damaging refrigerant gases. In ...

Solid-state batteries charge in a fraction of the time, run cooler, and pack more energy into less space than traditional lithium-ion versions. A new review from the University of California, ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

Solid-state batteries, where the electrolyte consists of a solid material rather than a liquid one, hold massive potential for future energy storage applications, but have been plagued by stability ...

For decades, quantum entanglement has been measured almost exclusively in isolated particles trapped in labs, far removed from the everyday solids that make up the physical world. A study published in ...

The interest is obvious. As electrified transport and wider energy storage needs grow, battery systems are being asked to deliver more energy, better safety, and more resilient supply chains.
