The key to making longer-lasting electric vehicle batteries may not be specialised materials or new chemistry, but simple physical pressure, according to new research. The longer your product will last, the fewer the number of times you’ll have to recycle the materials. And we are very bad at recycling batteries Michael De Volder Researchers led … Read more
For decades, the data center battery had one dominant selection question in classic UPS (uninterruptible power supply) duty: how many minutes it could support the load before the generator or another backup source took over. Engineers sized it by load, judged it by runtime, and swapped it on a schedule. AI is changing what the … Read more
