graphene rechargeable battery technology
NASA made headlines when it announced that it was testing graphene rechargeable battery technology through its SABERS (Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety) project.
SABERS, which is part of NASA's "high-risk, high-reward" research initiative, aims to develop next-generation battery technology for potentially game-changing applications such as electric aircraft as well as spaceflight.
The end goal, regardless of where the tech is ultimately implemented, is a battery that's "powerful, light, fast to charge, scalable to any application, and extremely safe" — all areas where existing lithium-ion batteries are seen as deficient.
If you've been following my coverage of graphene battery tech for the last few months, however, none of this should come as a surprise.
Graphene battery research has been moving along at a dramatic rate over the course of the last several years
