Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Solid-state batteries may finally be here. Or at least, they might be here in the foreseeable future instead of the far-off one. Samsung has announced that it is preparing to actually mass-produce a ...

During his time at UCSB John Bowers has served as director of the Institute for Energy Efficiency (IEE) at UCSB since it was founded in 2008 and is also a Distinguished Professor in the Departments of ...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are often powered by lithium-ion batteries. To ensure the reliability of EVs, it is essential to model and predict the remaining useful life of these batteries. Accurate ...

The Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) and ACS Energy Letters present this joint Collection that gathers recent publications of these journals on solid-state batteries. This Collection ...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable ion transport pathways are considered promising solid-state electrolyte (SSE) candidates for developing lithium or sodium metal batteries. However, their ...
