Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

New evidence shows that a tiny barrier inside solid-state battery cells can decide whether fast-charging will be common in the near future.

QuantumScape’s lithium-metal solid-state battery replaces liquid electrolytes and graphite anodes to target faster charging ...

Automotive patents don’t always focus on a new product that is about to hit showrooms. More often, they give us a peek at the ...

Why your iPhone isn't powered by a solid-state battery yet - even though it beats lithium-ion ...

A battery that charges fast, holds more energy, and stays safer under stress has become a kind of modern promise. You hear it ...

Applying high stack pressure is primarily done to address the mechanical failure issue of solid-state batteries. Here, the authors propose a mechanical optimization strategy involving elastic ...

Advancing scalable solid-state quantum computing from materials to quantum processors and simulators—this is the ambitious project goal of the joint European project SPINUS. During their annual ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Solid-state batteries are an old technology, but they have only been used for very small devices like hearing aids and ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...
