This map, produced by Prof. Liu Miao and Associate Prof. Li Chunlin from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with scientists from Fudan University and Shanghai Normal University, has used data collected from […]

A team at University of Science and Technology of China has developed a new material that could potentially help lower the production costs of solid state lithium batteries and accelerate their commercialization into EVs. The new material, lithium zirconium chloride, offers a reduced material cost and necessary performance, all while remaining stable. As published on Nature Communications this week, a research team from the University of Science and Technology of China led by Professor Ma […]

To support activity in China, the world’s leading industrial power and most populous country, the transmission and distribution of electricity have become a major challenge. The geographical distance between the areas where energy resources are located and those where they are consumed has made UHV (Ultra High Voltage) technology a priority for over ten years. Today, Smart Grid technology has now also been added to this. The enormous energy consumption […]
