Researchers at RMIT University and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia’s national science agency, have developed a new method that improves the lifetime ...

In the world of next-generation energy, researchers are taking a leap beyond chemistry into the strange rules of quantum mechanics. A new type of battery, known as a quantum battery, is no longer just ...

For more than a decade, scientists have been investigating ways to develop a “quantum battery” that stores energy using photons rather than electrons or ions. While quantum batteries—thanks to ...

The modern battery has come a long way in its 224-year history. In the place of Alessandro Volta’s piles of metal disks and brine-soaked cloth, we now have batteries the dimensions of a graham cracker ...

University of Tokyo and other researchers have takne advantage of an unintuitive quantum process that disregards the conventional notion of causality to improve the performance of so-called quantum ...

An experiment with superconducting qubits opens the door to determining whether quantum devices could be less energetically ...
