Researchers develop a battery cathode material that does it all

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-27 16:08:01

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay. Because it's hard to get all of these propert

AMD Ryzen CPUs continue to crush Intel processors on Amazon best-seller list

Intel CPUs have been completely shut out of Amazon's top 10 best sellers as of late June. While AMD's Zen 3, 4, and 5 chips occupy most of the top 50 spots, Team Blue's latest lineup remains under the shadow of its predece

The Download: Google DeepMind’s DNA AI, and heatwaves’ impact on the grid
