The mechanical properties of inorganic solid electrolytes for Li batteries are typically characterised by a high Young’s modulus above 15 GPa and hardness above 1 GPa. Here, authors develop a ...

Electromechanical relays for testing products ranging from automotive engines to thermocouples are readily available, low-cost devices you can use to route signals originating from almost anywhere. It ...

Hybrid relays are changing the way we think about switching inside electronic circuits. By combining the fast response of solid-state components with the reliability of mechanical contacts, these ...

Development of all-solid-state batteries is crucial to achieve carbon neutrality. However, their high surface resistance causes these batteries to have low output, limiting their applications. To this ...

Jinsong Zhang (left) and Mario El Kazzi with a test cell of the all-solid-state battery developed at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. The two researchers developed a process that combines mild ...

Today's electric vehicles (EVs) use lithium-ion batteries, developed in the 1990s and widely used in smartphones and laptops. A next-generation technology called solid-state batteries is currently ...

Imagine an electric vehicle that charges in minutes, travels hundreds of miles on a single charge, and eliminates the risk of battery fires. This is the promise of solid-state batteries, a technology ...

What if the future of energy storage was already here, quietly reshaping industries and redefining possibilities? For decades, solid-state batteries have been heralded as the holy grail of energy ...
