The Holy Grail of batteries might double your smartphones battery life
2014-07-28 20:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yahoo: Researchers from Stanford including former U.S. Secretary of Energy and Nobel laureate Steve Chu are currently working on fixing lithium-ion batteries in order to offer a longer charge to various devices that require such batteries, including smartphones and electric cars. A battery has three components including an anode that discharges electrons, a cathode to receive them and an electrolyte to provide electrons. Stanford researchers are trying to create a battery that has lithium in the anode...

Stanford creates Holy Grail lithium battery, could triple smartphone and EV battery life
2014-07-28 14:43:07| Extremetech
They've done it again: The battery barons of Stanford, led by Yi Cui, have created what those in the industry call the 'Holy Grail' of lithium-ion battery design. In specific, they've finally worked out how to create a rugged lithium electrode that can increase the capacity of a lithium-ion battery by three to four times -- as in, this lithium electrode, on its own, could increase the battery life of your smartphone by three times, or significantly reduce the size and cost of an electric car's battery pack.

Geo-engineering no Holy Grail - study
2014-02-25 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Far from offering a simple fix, sci-fi solutions to global warming may in fact make the problem worse, a probe of "geo-engineering" options said on Tuesday. Once mocked as unscientific, geo-engineering proposals are gaining traction as carbon emissions soar, placing Earth on track for warming of maybe four degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100. Ideas, mainly experimental or untested, include building mirrors in space to reflect the Sun's rays or growing plankton to boost absorption...
