Another graphene application – supercapacitors

While everybody knows about batteries, supercapacitors seem like a well kept secret. The reason is fairly simple. While capacitors have been used for a long time in electronics, capacitors and their souped-up cousins, supercapacitors, have only recently become candidates for competing with the common rechargeable battery. Supercapacitors store electricity as batteries do, but there are [...]

Nanotech ink plus a piece of paper: A novel(ty) battery

The search for a better battery is endless. The underlying physics present limitations that are hard to surpass, but there’s seemingly no end to human ingenuity when it comes to finding new ways of storing electrical energy. Try this one: Scientists at Stanford University (California, USA) have created an ink compounded with nanotechnology materials, dipped [...]
