A team of researchers from Kansas State University, led by Gurpreet Singh, associate professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering, has created a paperlike battery electrode using silicon oxycarbide-glass and graphene.The battery electrode is claimed to be more than 10% lighter than other battery electrodes and has close to 100% cycling effic...

According to research by Japanese startup, Flosfia, gallium oxide could replace silicon as the best material for use in electronic components such as diodes and transistors as it is cheaper, more efficient and capable of handling high voltages.Although this weakness is addressed by devices made from silicon carbide and gallium nitride, both hav...
