Georgia Tech team develops simple, low-cost process for oxide nanowires; superior separators for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials under ambient conditions without the use of catalysts or any external stimuli. This technique could open the door for a range of synthesis opportunities to produce low-cost 1D nanomaterials in large quantities.

Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion

Cars That Think

At the heart of the problem are utility companies that refuse to pursue interregional transmission projects, and sometimes even impede them, because new projects threaten their profits and disrupt their industry alliances. The goal is to keep the lights on at a low cost by utilizing an efficient mix of power plants.
