Swedish researchers have produced a battery made of ultra-lightweight materials, including carbon fibre that works as an electrode, a conductor, and a load-bearing structure, in a breakthrough that could pave the way for lighter, more efficient electric cars and planes.
The breakthrough in the long-running quest to develop “massless energy storage” was reported late last month, as the result of a collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, both in Sweden.
The technology works using types of carbon fibre which, as well as being stiff and strong, have a good ability to store electrical energy chemically – a discovery that was named by Physics World as one of 2018’s ten biggest scientific breakthroughs, according to Science Daily.

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Louvain in Belgium analyzed thousands of policy recommendations for how the EU should reduce deforestation in a recent report, deciding which had the greater potential to reduce deforestation while still being politically feasible.

However, our research shows that there is widespread support for such initiatives that can mitigate imported deforestation According to Martin Persson, a Chalmers University of Technology Associate Professor of Physical Resource Theory.
