24M has been pursuing cutting edge battery technology for a decade. This week it announced its latest battery breakthrough.
A new extreme fast charging electric vehicle battery from StoreDot aims at 100 miles in 4 minutes, towards an ultimate goal of 3 minutes.
It’s trivially easy to be snared by hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to start solving the problems of hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to wave away a problem set of hydrogen for energy as not your concern. And then solve more of the problems for energy. And wave … [continued]
This must be an election year. The MAGAlomaniacs in the US House of Representatives have forced the US military to disconnect a battery energy storage system that went into service at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina just a year ago. The reason? The batteries in the energy … [continued]

Experts from Argonne and Fermilab celebrate the science behind The Marvels with a movie screening and panel discussion When Captain Marvel becomes quantum-entangled with two other superheroes, only science can save them, so experts from Argonne and Fermilab set out to untangle the real quantum physics and cosmology concepts behind the movie … [continued]
An Argonne team developing materials for solid-state batteries took an unexpected detour to investigate tiny short-circuits known as soft-shorts. Their insights will benefit battery researchers around the world. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have shed important new light on what the early signs of … [continued]
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have developed an algorithm to predict electric grid stability using signals from pumped storage hydropower projects. The method provides critical situational awareness as the grid increasingly shifts to intermittent renewable power. Hydropower is a renewable energy source directly … [continued]
