Salt and a battery – smashing the limits of power storage
Jun 25, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Batteries are a crucial part of our green energy future but also an imperfect one. In future, a large portion of our energy will come from renewable sources such as solar and wind. But there are times when the wind does not blow and the...
Study provides insights into blockchain vulnerabilities
Jun 25, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Distributed ledger technology, such as blockchains, has become more prevalent across a variety of contexts over the past decade. The premise is that blockchains operate securely without any centralized control and that they are immutable or unsusceptible to change. Given its mission to create and...
