Sometimes cell phones die sooner than expected or electric vehicles don’t have enough charge to reach their destination. The rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in these and other devices typically last hours or days between charging. However, with repeated use, batteries degrade and need to be recharged more frequently.

They will build neuromorphic chips that using nanotechnology will combine neuronet and symbolic AI.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming transportation, but challenges such as cost, longevity, and range remain barriers to widespread adoption. At the heart of these challenges lies battery technology—specifically, the electrolyte, a critical component that enables energy storage and delivery. The electrolyte’s properties directly impact a battery’s charging speed, power output, stability, and safety.

To overcome these hurdles, researchers are turning to AI-driven approaches to accelerate the discovery of novel battery materials.

SES AI, a leader in battery innovation, is leveraging the cutting-edge NVIDIA hardware and software ecosystem to revolutionize materials discovery. By combining domain-adapted LLMs with an AI model and GPU-accelerated simulations in a single workflow, SES AI compresses decades of research into months and unlocks groundbreaking advancements in EV battery performance.

💰 Q: How will abundance affect the cost of living? A: Middle-class living becomes possible on **$20,000/year instead of **$100,000/year, reducing costs of energy, transportation, homes, groceries, and making luxuries more accessible.

✈️ Q: Will travel become more affordable in an abundant future? A: Vacation land and travel become more accessible as abundance reduces costs of travel and accommodations, creating new job opportunities in the travel industry. ## Entertainment and Sports.

🏆 Q: How will abundance impact professional sports and gaming? A: Professional athletes and gamers will gain popularity and lucrative opportunities as more people afford tickets and subscriptions, creating new job opportunities in competitive fields. ## Economic Considerations.

As the world makes more use of renewable energy sources, new battery technology is needed to store electricity for the times when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing.

“Current lithium batteries have reached their limitations in terms of energy storage capability, life cycle, and safety,” says Xiaolei Wang, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “They’re good for applications like and portable electronics, but they’re not suitable for large-scale grid-level energy storage.”

With the help of the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan, Wang and his team are developing new technologies to help make grid-level aqueous batteries that can use seawater as an electrolyte. The study is published in the journal Advanced Materials.

In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced battery technologies that can be charged faster and store more energy, while also remaining safe and stable over time. Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), which contain a lithium-metal-based anode, have been found to be promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), which are currently the most widely used rechargeable batteries.

A key advantage of LMBs is that they can store significantly more energy than LiBs, which could be advantageous for and other large or advanced electronics. Despite their potential, these batteries have so far proved to be less stable and safe than LiBs, while also charging relatively slowly; limitations that have so far prevented their widespread adoption.

A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and other institutes recently designed new based on symmetric organic salts, which could help to boost the performance of LMBs. Their newly designed electrolytes, introduced in a paper in Nature Energy, were found to improve the stability and charging speed of LMBs, preventing the formation of dendrites (lithium deposits that cause a battery’s performance to decline over time).

People in Japan are remembering the victims of the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system on the 30th anniversary of the deadly incident on Thursday.

Members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult released highly toxic nerve gas in packed rush-hour subway cars on three lines in central Tokyo on March 20, 1995. Fourteen people died and about 6,300 others were injured.

At Kasumigaseki subway station, staff observed a moment of silence at around 8 a.m., almost the exact time of the attack.
