Either it is a dead Laptop or an EV, charge it up in 10 min
Ankur Gupta is an Indian Origin Tech Researcher whose team has discovered a new technology that can charge not only your dead laptop but your EV as well in just 10 minutes. He presented these results in the Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He is an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder in the United States. The study covered the movement of ions, and tiny charged particles through a sophisticated web of microscopic holes.
According to him, this discovery may result in the creation of "supercapacitors," or energy storage devices that are more effective. This discovery could have a big impact on power systems in addition to being crucial for electric car batteries. This is because fluctuating energy demands necessitate effective storage systems to prevent waste during periods of low demand and guarantee prompt delivery during cycles of high demand.
Ankur Gupta claims that supercapacitors are ion-collecting devices that store energy in their pores. Compared to batteries, they have quicker charging times and longer lifespans. Its speed is the most important factor in a supercapacitor, according to research. Up until recently, just one straight pore could contain the ion motions. Nonetheless, in a matter of minutes, the flow of ions in an intricate network of thousands of connected pores can now be predicted and simulated thanks to this finding.
As per researchers, the primary appeal of supercapacitors lies in their speed. Before this study, ion movements were only defined in the literature in one straight pore. This discovery allows for the simulation and prediction of ion flow in a complicated network of thousands of interconnected pores in minutes, the researchers mentioned.
