[ad_1] “No other structural battery reported is comparable, in terms of energy density, to today’s state-of-the-art advanced lithium batteries. We improved our prior version of structural zinc batteries on 10 different measures, some of which are 100 times better, to make it happen,” he continued. In a study published Wednesday in the journal Science Robotics […]

It turns out all the cardboard and plastic wrap involved isn’t as bad for the environment as the extra […]
The reality of pollution kills your dream of a flying car
[ad_1] The researchers came to their conclusions through a physics-based model that reflects the “general trends” of the industry. It considers factors like weight, battery energy and the lift-to-drag ratio. This doesn’t mean you’ll never leave the ground. The economy tips in your favor beyond the 22-mile mark, since flying cars gain efficiency the longer […]
