Why Thomas Edison’s 1901 battery invention is making a massive comeback in the 21st century |
Researchers are going back to Thomas Edison’s old nickel-iron battery design more than 100 years later to make a new, high-performance way to store energy. A group from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has used cutting-edge nanotechnology to rethink Edison’s chemistry, making it faster, more efficient, and longer-lasting for possible use in renewable…
