On the Road to Better Solid-State Batteries
A team from Berkeley Lab and Florida State University has designed a new blueprint for solid-state batteries that are less dependent on specific chemical elements. Their work could advance efficient, affordable solid-state batteries for electric cars.
Tesla’s actions at Buffalo plant raise red flags
Tesla fired over 30 employees, including several leaders of a unionization campaign, a day after they announced plans to organize a Tesla’s Gigafactory 2 plant in Buffalo. In a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board, workers are accusing…
Study: Paper-thin gallium oxide transistor handles more than 8,000 volts
In a study published in the June edition of IEEE Electron Device Letters, University at Buffalo electrical engineers describe how a gallium oxide transistor they created can handle more than 8,000 volts. The transistor could lead to smaller and more efficient electronic systems that control and convert electric power in electric cars, locomotives and airplanes. In turn, this could help improve how far these vehicles can travel.
