Researchers say they've built and tested a 'structural battery' that packs a device or EV's chassis with energy, saving a ton of weight. It could unlock smartphones as thin as credit cards, laptops at ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days.

But what if the frame of the car could hold energy? “Due to their multifunctionality, structural battery composites are often ...

Structural batteries, which function as both a power source and a load-bearing material, have seen a major breakthrough in performance, promising to revolutionize the design and efficiency of electric ...

When cars, planes, ships or computers are built from a material that functions as both a battery and a load-bearing structure, the weight and energy consumption are radically reduced. A research group ...

The first thing to know about the "structural battery" is that it is not actually weightless. Rather, as the name implies, it can be used to replace various mono-tasking structural panels in use today ...

Building on the trailblazing carbon-fiber-as-a-battery work started at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, deep-tech startup Sinonus is working to commercialize a groundbreaking new breed of ...

I marveled earlier this week at the incredible thinness of the Huawei Mate XT batteries. That's the world's first commercially available tri-fold foldable phone. Starting at almost $3,000, the ...

Scientists have made a massless structural battery 10 times better than before. The battery cell performs well in structural and energy tests, with planned further improvements. Structural batteries ...
