Putting the brakes on lithium-ion batteries to prevent fires
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are used to power everything from wise watches to electrical vehicles, thanks to the large amounts of power they can save in small spaces. When overheated, nevertheless, they're prone to catching fire and even taking off. Yet recent study published in Nano Letters uses a possible solution with a new innovation that can swiftly put the brakes on a Li-ion battery, shutting it down when it obtains also warm.

Britain's 'artificial sun' nuclear fusion reactor sets a brand-new globe record after launching 59 MEGAJOULES of energy for five seconds-- taking us closer in the direction of 'infinite clean energy'
Britain's Joint European Torus nuclear fusion reactor has established a brand-new globe record
' Artificial sun', near Oxford, launched 59 megajoules of power for 5 seconds
This overshadowed the previous fusion power record, also established by JET 25 years ago
If researchers can harness fusion power, hope is to create endless clean power

Molecular resonances lower the optimum possible photovoltage in natural solar cells
Researchers at TU Dresden and also Hasselt University in Belgium examined the physical reasons that restrict the performance of unique solar cells based upon natural molecular products. Presently, the voltage of such cells is still also reduced-- one factor for their still fairly reduced effectiveness.
