Because it decays slowly — with a half-life of 5,730 years — a radiocarbon battery could theoretically last millennia. That’s ...

Lithium-ion batteries, used in consumer devices and electric vehicles, typically last hours or days between charges. However, with repeated use, they degrade and need to be charged more frequently.

Batteries for electric vehicles are notoriously difficult to recycle, but growing demand for the rare metals they contain is ...

Scientists have developed a prototype nuclear battery using radiocarbon that could power small devices for decades without recharging.

Learn what sodium-ion batteries are, how they compare to lithium-ion, and whether they could become the future of energy ...

Researchers at South Korea’s Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology led by Su-Il In have developed of a ...

Optimized synthesis of Co-Sn sulfides enhances sodium-ion battery stability and capacity, positioning SIBs as a viable ...
