For electric planes to really take off and for electric cars to travel far longer distances between charges, we'll need batteries that pack far more energy without becoming prohibitively heavy. A team ...

Scientists have developed a model capable of predicting the cycle lives of high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries by applying machine learning methods to battery performance data. The model ...

Continuous downward scaling is challenging electromigration (EM) signoff using traditional EM checking approaches. The size reduction of metal line cross sections results in higher current densities, ...

The new anode-free battery allows electric vehicles to travel nearly twice as far without increasing size. A group of South Korean scientists has achieved a major milestone in battery technology by ...

Using a simple layer-by-layer coating technique, researchers have developed a paper-based flexible supercapacitor that could be used to help power wearable devices. The device uses metallic ...

A recent blog post discussed the use of virtual metal fill (VMF) to predict the effects of real metal fill when performing RC extraction on a chip layout. This enables static timing analysis (STA) ...
