But to incorporate many different types of sensors, we need different material designs and tools. A little device that harvests energy from a runner’s evening jog clearly is not designed for a massive bison, which can weigh up to a tonne. Personalized health care could revolutionize traditional medical practice,” Gao says.

Researchers at the Leibnitz Institute for Catalysis (Rostock, Germany) have introduced a new approach to hydrogen storage that is based on simple salts of formic acid and carbonic acid. A fundamental problem with the use of these storage materials is the separation of the carbon dioxide formed when the hydrogen is released.

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. The design returned to life in the mid-20th century, was developed for possible use on a moon base, and was further improved for use in grid storage.

Robert Privette: Rechargeable batteries are among the building blocks for the green energy transition. However, at the start of its useful life an EV tends to come with a higher “carbon backpack” because of the battery. Recycling, when done properly, reduces a battery’s carbon backpack considerably compared to mining.

The revised Think from Think Global has emerged as popular in Europe with a more stylish design than the earlier iteration. It features ABS brakes, dual airbags, and is designed to meet all European and U.S. Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids.
