Date Time Significant progress in lithium-air battery development Research led by the University of Liverpool, in partnership with Johnson Matthey PLC and Loughborough University, is making significant progress in the development of stable and practical electrolytes for lithium-oxygen batteries. The lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2) battery (or lithium-air battery), consisting of Li-metal and a porous conductive framework as its electrode’s releases energy from the reaction of oxygen from the air and lithium. The technology is in its infancy, but in theory could provide much greater energy storage th...

Ultra-Thin Organic Imager Makes the Invisible Visible by Peering Into the Infrared Spectrum Combining a shortwave infrared photodetector and an OLED display, this flexible biomedical-safe device is a real breakthrough. A team of researchers from the University of California San Diego, the University of Southern Mississippi, and the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIM) have unveiled a large-area yet surprisingly-thin infrared imager which, they say, is flexible, low-cost, and safe for biomedical use. Shortwave infrared visualisers have a range of uses: Peering through smoke and fog,...
