Researchers have uncovered a critical mechanism behind battery failure in solid-state batteries, offering new insights that could help unlock safer, longer-lasting energy storage technologies. Every time a smartphone is charged or an electric vehicle is plugged in, billions of lithium ions move through a battery to store energy. Future devices could perform far better with [...]

Video games are often criticized for keeping people glued to screens and isolated from the real world. Many parents and health experts have worried that spending too much time playing games may increase loneliness and reduce social connections.

Imagine wearing a lightweight patch that can monitor your heartbeat, breathing and movements for long periods without ever needing a battery. Or imagine robots with soft, flexible skins that can feel pressure and movement much like human skin. These ideas may be closer to becoming reality thanks to a new self-powered sensor developed by researchers […]
