In search of new batteries utilizing alternatives that will go beyond the famed Lithium-ion ones present, Lamborghini has licensed the latest development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Think your shiny new electric vehicle keeps your secrets safe? Think again. Researchers from MIT recently proved that the innocent-looking battery gauge on your dashboard can betray your personal ...

Lithium intercalation is the process by which lithium ions insert themselves into the solid electrode of a lithium-ion battery. MIT researchers have shown that as lithium ions (green) move from an ...

Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui is a multi-faceted individual whose expertise spans the worlds of library and information science, environmental advocacy, and – perhaps surprisingly – the automotive ...

Recycling lithium-ion batteries – whether they're the large ones in your EVs or the small ones in your gadgets – is no easy task, as it requires specialized processes, high heat, and a range of ...

MIT’s new photonic AI chip processes data with light instead of electricity, cutting power use by 90%. Here’s why EV makers should be paying attention. Imagine an EV that doesn’t need a bulky cooling ...

MIT on Wednesday said its engineers have taken existing battery material and changed it to create what it calls a "beltway" that allows for the rapid transit of electrical energy. The technology also ...

It can be argued that one of biggest hurdles in proliferation of renewable energy is the inability to store the energy in a cost effective manner. Pursuing this endeavor, a team of researchers from ...

The big picture: The future of targeted drug delivery may hinge on the development of a tiny battery capable of powering cell-sized robots. MIT researchers have created such a battery and are now ...

At the heart of all lithium-ion batteries is a simple reaction: Lithium ions dissolved in an electrolyte solution "intercalate" or insert themselves into a solid electrode during battery discharge.
