Advancement in supercapacitor research could improve things for cars

Important Twist in Supercapacitor Research

The team, along with legendary nanotechnology
pioneer Dr. Ray Baughman, developed a means to create supercapacitors
using “paper” sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes embedded with a
special polymer called polypyrrole.



Imagine if the boxy, heavy car battery morphed into something
light, strong, perhaps paper-thin and flexible that could be molded to
fit elsewhere in the vehicle—even hidden in plain sight. Getting rid of
the weight and bulk of batteries could prove especially helpful in
hybrid car designs, which today rely on a suitcase-sized array of
hefty, metal batteries. And that’s just one application.

Coilhouse Magazine: New Magazine Is Like GQ For Robots And Supervillains

The space-age editors over at Coilhouse Magazine are reviving

human pets to step it up (finally!).
