A rechargeable battery based on technology pioneered by Thomas Edison may finally get its due. But while the famous inventor envisioned nickel-iron batteries powering the automobile industry over a ...

The new design retains Edison's choice of metals while incorporating 21st-century nanotechnology and bioengineering. The UCLA-led study, published in Small, describes a battery capable of recharging ...

A team co-led by UCLA has revived an Edison-style nickel-iron battery that charges in seconds and survives 12,000 cycles, ...

In contrast, the new battery is a more direct reimagination of Edison’s idea, in that it focuses on the battery itself as opposed to its byproducts. The prototype, developed by scientists at the ...

A team of chemists at Stanford have created a nickel-iron battery prototype that can charge and discharge in seconds using carbon nanostructures. Usually, a nickel-iron battery is simply two ...
