Hybrid anode quadruples the lifespan of lithium-sulfur batteries

Hybrid anode quadruples the lifespan of lithium-sulfur batteries: "Increasing the range of electric vehicles and improving the storage of renewable energy systems are two examples of the benefits offered by lithium-sulfur batteries. Though they can hold four times the energy per mass of the lithium-ion batteries used today, their considerably shorter lifespan has proven something of a roadblock. Researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have now designed a lithium-sulfur battery with four times the longevity, bringing the technology that little bit closer to maturity."

Hero vs. Honda: Battle of the Titans (starring Erik Buell)

Hero vs. Honda: Battle of the Titans (starring Erik Buell): "When Hero MotoCorp Managing Director Pawan Munjal pronounced "the dawn of a new era" at a press conference prior to the opening of Auto Expo in New Delhi last week, his words meant much more than customary auto company MD rhetoric.
