“Our microwave induction heating technology enables fast and easy preparation of hard carbon, which I believe will contribute to the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries,” said Dr. Daeho Kim.

Can sodium-ion batteries be improved to exceed the efficiency and longevity of traditional lithium-ion batteries? This is what a recent study published in Chemical Engineering Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers from South Korea investigated how microwave induction heating can produce sufficient carbon anodes used in sodium-ion batteries. This study holds the potential to help researchers and engineers better understand how to develop and produce efficient sodium-ion batteries, which have demonstrated greater abundancy and stability.

“Due to recent electric vehicle fires, there has been growing interest in sodium-ion batteries that are safer and function well in colder conditions. However, the carbonization process for anodes has been a significant disadvantage in terms of energy efficiency and cost,” said Dr. Jong Hwan Park, who is from the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) and a co-author on the study.

This chip has speed that defies the light speed barrier while maintaining cool temperatures using a special metamaterial that allows the light particles to go infinitely fast.

Most metamaterial experiments occur in bulk transmission geometries. Here researchers demonstrate integrated in-plane zero-index metamaterials.

SpaceX undertook a planetary defense mission on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA) on Monday, aiming to provide scientists with tools to prevent future catastrophic cosmic impacts.

The ESA’s Hera planetary defense mission builds on NASA’s 2022 Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and will analyze its effects, allowing scientists and engineers to gain a more comprehensive understanding for use in real-world emergencies.
