Fusion startups have a tough row to hoe. Their mission? To create a new kind of power plant that produces more energy than it consumes — something no one has ever done with fusion energy before. That means proving their technology works, showing it can be scaled up, and convincing investors it can all be done profitably. That’s already a tall order. But there’s another big challenge that gets far less attention: where to get the fuel. Most fusion startups will say that they’ll be producing thei

A stabilizing coating on an electrode, combined with microscale channels, helps solve the trade-off between range and charging speed, even in cold temperatures Engineering student Chloe Acosta plugs in an EV for charging in snowy weather on the University of Michigan’s North Campus. EV charging becomes less efficient in colder weather, but a new strategy for manufacturing battery electrodes could enable charging in 10 minutes in temperatures as cold as -10C.

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2011, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Accessory maker Elecom has announced what it’s claiming to be the first consumer-ready power bank that uses a sodium-ion battery instead of a lithium-ion one, as spotted by Notebookcheck. In addition to being more environmentally friendly to manufacture, the 9,000mAh Na Plus can be used in extreme temperatures with less risk of overheating, and h

The promise of fusion energy is cheap and abundant power for the entire planet. Scientists have made startling advances towards achieving it at scale, but there are still many problems holding it back. One of them is the production of fuel, which requires vast amounts of enriched lithium. Enriching lithium has been an environmental catastrophe, but researchers in Texas believe they’ve found a way to do it cheaply and at scale without poisoning the world. A team of researchers at Texas A&M Unive

In brief: If you're someone who uses gadgets until every drop of life has been squeezed out of them, then this battery tech might be right up your alley. A Chinese research team has devised a clever way to effectively give depleted batteries a new lease of life by replenishing their lithium supply. The only catch is that, for now, it will likely only be practical for industrial-scale applications such as grid energy storage systems. First, some context on why batteries degrade. Lithium-ion batt

As the owner of a 3-year-old laptop, I feel the finite lifespan of lithium batteries acutely. It's still a great machine, but the cost of a battery replacement would take me a significant way down the path of upgrading to a newer, even greater machine. If only there were some way to just plug it in overnight and come back to a rejuvenated battery. While that sounds like science fiction, a team of Chinese researchers has identified a chemical that can deliver fresh lithium to well-used batteries
