Massachusetts battery startup takes major step toward making gas cars obsolete

A small startup in Massachusetts has built and road-tested a solid-state battery that could one day make electric vehicles cheaper, safer, and longer-lasting than gas-powered cars.Jack Ewing reports for The New York Times.In short:Factorial Energy, co-founded by Siyu Huang and Alex Yu, developed a solid-state battery that was recently tested on the road in a Mercedes EQS sedan after more than a decade of research and setbacks.Unlike conventional…

The transport and mobility sector in Spain has a business mass of around 218,000 companies and today represents 4.4% of the national GDP according to ICEX data. Currently the market players are faced with the challenge of having to drive a more sustainable and intelligent mobility to respond to the objective of the SDG 2030 Agenda and the total decarbonization of the transport marked by 2050. The entry Solid state batteries will be deployed on a…

Lithium-ion batteries continue to be the dominant energy storage system in electronics. However, it looks like it won't stay that way. Worldwide, research teams are working on alternative battery forms that have a higher energy density, are not so fire-dangerous and also have a longer life span. Such an alternative could be solid batteries. A team at the Technical University of Munich has discovered a new lithium compound that can make these sol…

Solid state batteries are considered to be the current storage systems of the future. A development of the TU Munich significantly improves these.
