Massless Energy Storage: The Next Step in Battery Technology
Image Credit: asharkyu/Shutterstock.com In this environmentally conscious world, fossil fuels are being shunned in favor of renewables for electricity generation and transportation. Due to their periodic nature, excess energy generated by renewables is frequently stored in batteries. However, these often add extra weight to the cars and consumer electronics they power. Researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a structural battery that is ten times better than all previous versions and paves the way for an essentially massless energy storage system for e...
