Silicon Anode Batteries for EVs Are Ready for Production
While the world is waiting—and waiting—for the giant leap to solid-state batteries, a nimble step to silicon anode cells is well underway. That transitional stage includes a key ingredient made in the U.S., not China.
Sionic Energy today…

Not so simple machines: Cracking the code for materials that can learn
It’s easy to think that machine learning is a completely digital phenomenon, made possible by computers and algorithms that can mimic brain-like behaviors.
But the first machines were analog and now, a small but growing body of research is…

Hybrid theory offers new way to model disturbed complex systems
In fields ranging from immunology and ecology to economics and thermodynamics, multi-scale complex systems are ubiquitous. They are also notoriously difficult to model. Conventional approaches take either a bottom-up or top-down approach. But in…
