Lamborghini has chosen a radically different way of dipping its toe in the waters of hybridization with the announcement of its new Sián, which couples a screaming, naturally aspirated V12 engine with ...

Faraday Future names a new CEO. Lamborghini shows that supercapacitors work well for saving energy and going fast. And Mercedes-Benz introduces the latest revamped member of its plug-in hybrid family.

Graphene supercapacitors are moving from lab curiosity to serious contender for the next wave of electric vehicle energy storage. By pairing the near-instant charging of capacitors with the high ...

(Nanowerk News) Texas A&M University researchers have created a novel plant-based energy storage device that in the near future could charge devices — even electric cars — within a few minutes.

An old idea to use a layered carbon composite material as an energy-storing device gets a fresh spin with the help of NASA technologies. The supercapacitor-battery hybrid material would be like a ...

Lamborghini is ready to steer the future of the automotive industry. A week after sending samples of its carbon fiber to space for observation, the Italian automaker and MIT have patented a material ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Lamborghini Sián is already sold out—there are only 63 in the ...

Scientists from Skoltech, the Institute of Nanotechnology of Microelectronics, RAS, and other research centers have refined the understanding of how plasma treatment of carbon-based electrodes affects ...

A supercapacitor is a double-layer capacitor that has very high capacitance but low voltage limits. Supercapacitors store more energy than electrolytic capacitors and they are rated in farads (F).

The Chinese have made a sudden entry in the the top 20 super capacitor maker rankings in just a decade. According to the latest IDTechEx Research report, “Supercapacitor Markets, Technology Roadmap, ...

Unlike batteries, which store and release energy through chemical reactions, supercapacitors store energy electrostatically. This allows them to charge and discharge much faster. A supercapacitor ...

WHEN IT COMES to putting on pace, some electric vehicles rely not only on a battery to deliver the necessary wattage, but also on a second source of power called a supercapacitor. The battery serves ...
