Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For more than a decade, scientists have been investigating ways to develop a “quantum battery” that stores energy using photons rather than electrons ...

As the demand for sustainable and low-cost energy storage grows, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium-ion systems. However, their performance under extreme ...

An experimental but fully functioning quantum battery system may have helped nudge the technology a small step closer to real-world applications. The quantum devices can charge and discharge a little ...

For more than a century, the laws of thermodynamics have helped us understand how energy moves, how engines work, and why time seems to flow in one direction. Now, researchers have made a similarly ...
