Origami from ancient art to paper battery

Adrian — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 19:26:32 +0000

The nature has always been the followed model for bringing inventions into the reality. Now the ancient Japanese traditional art of origami inspired researchers from Binghamton University to create a small and strong device, a paper battery. The paper battery was developed by Seokheun Sean Choi one engineer researcher in the team and is folded […]

The trees as raw material for elastic high-capacity battery

Adrian — Tue, 02 Jun 2015 22:53:21 +0000

I never thought that is possible to make elastic high-capacity battery from wood pulp. Now it is obviously. A very good team of researchers from KTH Royal Swedish Institute of Technology and Stanford University made this come true. They used nanocellulose broken down from tree fibre to produce a kind of elastic foam designed to […]

Electromagnetic Harvester could charge very low-powered devices

Adrian — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:15:25 +0000

As in the adage of Sir Antoine Lavoisier, “in nature nothing is lost, nothing is gained, everything transforms,” the energy is in a continue movement. Being surrounded by electromagnetic fields wherever you go, as normally, somebody thought it could be a good source of energy. There were many ideas of harvesting energy. This time Dennis […]

Stanford scientists spark new interest in the century-old Edison battery

Gabriel — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:38:53 +0000

Stanford University scientists have breathed new life into the nickel-iron battery, a rechargeable technology developed by Thomas Edison more than a century ago. Designed in the early 1900s to power electric vehicles, the Edison battery largely went out of favor in the mid-1970s. Today only a handful of companies manufacture nickel-iron batteries, primarily to store […]

Nanocable could be big boon for energy storage

Gabriel — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:37:56 +0000

Thanks to a little serendipity, researchers at Rice University have created a tiny coaxial cable that is about a thousand times smaller than a human hair and has higher capacitance than previously reported microcapacitors. The nanocable, which is described this week in Nature Communications, was produced with techniques pioneered in the nascent graphene research field […]
