To show how it works, the researchers created a fishing net from the battery yarn and soaked it in seawater. When charged, ...

Most batteries are rigid and incompatible with water. But people work and play in oceans and estuaries, and they could ...

The design uses the features of seawater to its advantage by utilizing the sodium, chloride, and sulfate ions as the battery's electrolyte.

Researchers report in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces a yarn-like battery prototype that works when immersed in seawater ...

A 50-second Nest surveillance video that went viral was taken in a Siesta Key home, showing a Tesla in a garage with barely a ...

During World War II a scientist named Georg Otto Erb developed the molten salt battery for use in military applications. The war ended before Erb’s batteries found any real use, but British ...
