Seagate's selling solid state drives modeled on the ingots of Beskar steel from Star Wars' Mandalorian spinoffs. They won't resist blaster bolts and you can't melt them down…

Garnet-type solid electrolytes are attracting great interest due to high ionic conductivity and excellent electrochemical stability against Li metal. However, the thick electrolyte layer and rigid nature as well as poor interfacial contact are huge obstacles for its application in all-solid-state lithium batteries. Currently, researchers in China provide a promising strategy toward realizing 20 μm-thick flexible…

Chemists at Hokkaido University and the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (WPI-ICReDD) have developed the first high-performance catalyst specifically designed and optimized for solid-state, mechanochemical synthesis.

PCIe 4.0 drives offer read speeds of up to 7,415MB/s

Volkswagen's partner for solid-state batteries, Quantumscape, claims to make bold strides in its Q2 letter to shareholders. The company says it is now successfully building and testing prototype 24-layer cells - up from 16 layers just a few months ago. Solid-state battery development appears acce

Producing battery packs that yield 800+ kilometers remains rough going

Doug Campbell has resigned as CEO of Louisville-based Solid Power, a developer of solid-state batteries, considered the next evolution in electric-vehicle technology.

Frore System's solid-state AirJet cooling technology can tame SSD throttling with a fraction of the power and size of traditional methods.

Solid state drives use far less power than hard disc drives. But a new study unexpectedly reveals that their lifetime carbon footprint is much higher than their hard disc cousins, raising difficult questions for the computer industry

Researchers from the Leiden Institute of Chemistry show proof of principle that live-cell structural changes and metabolic processes can be followed in real time with NMR spectroscopy. They performed their study on photosynthetic green algae that are metabolically flexible and can sustain energy generation under a variety of different environmental conditions. The results are published in Angewandte Chemie.

Fast, reliable, and compact.

Solid Power will begin pilot manufacturing of solid-state battery cells for internal testing before delivering them to BMW and Ford.
