How ultrathin dielectric substrates affect thermal resistance, leakage, capacitance, and manufacturability in WBG power modules.
Li-rich electrodes and Interface Stability
Li-rich electrodes need stable interfaces for long cycle life; recent studies show gains, limits, and scale-up questions for industry.
Scaling Thin-Film Materials For Clean Energy
Thin-film materials show strong lab results, but scale-up still depends on stability, yield, supply risk, and bankable field evidence.
hybrid AI-physics models For Water Prediction
Hybrid AI-physics models improve some water forecasts, but recent studies show limits in uncertainty, data needs, and process representation.
Battery Oxygen Release in Solid-State EV Cells
Battery oxygen release limits solid-state EV cell life; recent coatings show lab gains, but scale, cost, and safety validation remain open.
What If the Car Body Became the Battery? A £7 Million Program Is Testing Structural Power Composites
Structural power composites are pushing a provocative engineering idea toward a serious test: instead of carrying a battery inside a vehicle, part of the vehicle itself could store electricity. A new £7 million UK research programme gives that idea five years of concentrated work, shifting the harder question from “can Continue Reading
sodium-ion batteries Safety Testing Milestones
sodium-ion batteries are moving through stricter safety tests, but chemistry, scale, and standards still shape storage decisions.
Diamond composites in hypersonic impact testing
diamond composites showed unusual impact behavior in 2026 lab tests, but aerospace and defense use remains an early-stage question.
Mechanoluminescent Sensors: Evidence Update
Mechanoluminescent Sensors are gaining lab evidence for force mapping and delayed impact imaging, but scale, cost, and durability remain open.
