Batteries and Capacitors

RESEARCH

Sugar powers bio battery

Stick sugar-busting enzymes on a fuel-cell electrode in a way that keeps the enzymes working and you have a simple battery-like biofuel power source. [more]

RESEARCH

Atom-thin carbon material stores big charge

Modify a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon with the right molecules and you have the makings of an efficient way to store lots of electricity. [more]

RESEARCH

Plastic car batteries advance

Hit the right concoction of plastics or plastics and ceramic nanoparticles and you get ferroelectric polymer capacitors that can store more electricity than previous types. [more]
