Published Robo-bug: A rechargeable, remote-control cyborg cockroach
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell. This achievement will help make the use of cyborg insects a practical reality.
Published A sustainable battery with a biodegradable electrolyte made from crab shells
(via sciencedaily.com) Accelerating demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles is sparking a high demand for the batteries that store generated energy and power engines. But the batteries behind these sustainability solutions aren't always sustainable themselves. Scientists have now create a zinc battery with a biodegradable electrolyte from an unexpected source -- crab shells.
Published A new concept for low-cost batteries
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Engineers have designed a battery made from inexpensive, abundant materials, that could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources. Less expensive than lithium-ion battery technology, the new architecture uses aluminum and sulfur as its two electrode materials with a molten salt electrolyte in between.
Published New stable quantum batteries can reliably store energy into electromagnetic fields
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have proposed that the micromasers can serve as excellent model for future quantum batteries.
