Metro explores the race to break the boundaries of the next generation of batteries, raising the prospect of electric cars that can travel 500 miles and laptops that can last for months without charging.
The power of the battery has determined our daily habits, and you will think that we have all evolved into the Dulak rabbit.
Most of us can't do without a mobile phone charger for more than a day, just like a driver wants to dump gasoline --
To support battery power, the short life between charging is often impractical.
No wonder technology companies are racing to produce the next generation of products. Long lasting battery.
IBM has invented a "breathing" battery that can power 500 miles of electric vehicles (800km)
One charge. A mass-
The production of electric vehicles that can match the gasoline series will be a watershed.
The current electric vehicle is about 100 miles (160km)
Because of their lithium.
The ion-powered battery that converts chemical energy into electric energy is too big and too heavy for long trips.
Last week, computer giant lithium-
The air battery generates electricity by inhaling oxygen from the air and charges by discharging oxygen.
By removing the oxide contained (oxygen)
IBM's batteries are becoming lighter and lighter, relying on the air around them to filter.
Winfried Wilk, senior manager of the battery 500 project, said in an interview with Wired that the basic operation of the battery is no longer a problem. com.
But it will take at least 2020 to start production. Lithium-
Air batteries face fierce competition for carbon emissions
Use graphene to help alternatives to power generation.
Wilcke believes that graphene is not stable enough for a long time.
But researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University say they have created graphene-
The human body can use heat to run batteries of artificial organs.
The device captures thermal energy in a way similar to a solar cell and converts it into electrical energy.
If successful, it can also power mobile devices or produce renewable energy.
Zihan Xu of the university explained: "The output of our equipment is also continuous, and it only works by collecting the thermal energy of the surrounding copper
The theory is infinite.
The company has a patent to use a material called liquid metal in a hydrogen fuel cell that can power its equipment for a month between the topsups. Apple’s space-
It is said that age alloy will form a shell on the upcoming iPhone 5 and the new MacBook Pro;
It already provides features on the iPhone's SIM card release tool.
The liquid metal is solid, lightweight, easy to form and does not corrosion-ideal for use in hydrogen fuel cells where the only by-product is water.
The technology is expected to be implemented as early as next year.
At the same time, the manufacturer 3 m is choosing a silicon battery that can provide you with 40 cents longer power for your technology.
The system works by passing current through silicon
Lithium alloys that raise almost half the energy level.
The study has been in progress since 1990, with funding of $4. 6 million (£2. 9 million)
Investment from the US Department of Energy, but business promotion is expected in the next two years.
Chris Milker of 3 m said that it will take a while to implement a revolutionary innovation, but a lot of investment will eventually be rewarded.
Former Google owners Eric Schmidt and Stanford also supported silicon solutions, with a team posting a report accusing poorly coded websites and ads --
Large application for running out of power from smartphone and tablet batteries.
The report found Apple.
Com is the worst criminal because it doesn't provide a separate website for mobile users.
Google's Gmail is the most efficient.
Researchers tested an Android smartphone to compare the energy consumption of websites such as the Internet Movie Database and Wikipedia.
The researchers found that by adjusting the design of the popular encyclopedia, they could reduce energy usage by 30 without affecting browsing.
"Although web browsing is becoming more and more popular, there is little known about the energy consumed by mobile browsers when surfing the Internet," the report said.
We hope this paper will prove the importance of building a mobile site optimized for mobile devices.
