In short: Altilium, a UK clean technology company, has secured £18.5 million in grant funding from the government’s DRIVE35 Scale-Up Fund to build ACT3, the country’s first commercial refinery for recovering critical minerals from end-of-life electric …

For decades, nickel-hydrogen batteries have been the quiet workhorses of space, powering the International Space Station and the Hubble Space Telescope through the extremes of orbit. Now, a California startup wants to put that same chemistry to work on…
Researchers have developed a new silicon-carbon battery design that can store up to nine times more energy while staying stable over time.

In the sprawl north of Dallas, where data centres are multiplying and the Texas grid groans under record demand, Energy Vault has placed a new bet on battery storage, and on the idea that the companies powering AI’s insatiable appetite for electricity …
Hydrogen never worked in cars, but researchers in Norway have built a drone that runs on it, swapping batteries for a fuel cell to handle long-range jobs like power line inspections.
The post Hydrogen fuel cars never caught on, but it just might produc…
Confidential Samsung SDI documents reveal the company testing batteries nearly four times the S26 Ultra’s capacity. The ambition is hard to argue with. The test results are harder to ignore.
