    High-powered lasers can wirelessly charge drones mid-flight (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Chinese researchers have revealed a new technology that could soon enable drones to charge mid-flight using high-powered lasers. The scientists built a prototype of the system using a model of a drone and attached a receiver that works similarly to a solar cell. Fixed to the underside of the wing, the receiver successfully converted the energy from the laser beam into electricity to power the aircraft’s propellers. The breakthrough was made by researchers at the Civil Aviation University of Chin

    New sodium metal battery design charges in just 4 minutes and retains its capacity for years (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Researchers in China have announced a radical sodium metal battery (SMB) design that can fully charge in just four minutes and will retain its capacity for years of use. SMBs are a form of ultrafast-charging, stable batteries that scientists say could one day be a cheap alternative to today's lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which rely on geographically concentrated metals and easily catch fire. SMBs also differ from sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries in that they use a metallic sodium anode rather th
