10 companies taking ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ ideas out of the lab and into the real world to address the climate emergency.

Nyobolt, a ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ spin-out company, has demonstrated its ultra-fast charging batteries in an electric sportscar prototype, going from 10% to 80% charge in under five minutes.

¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ researchers are working to solve one of technology’s biggest puzzles: how to build next-generation batteries that could power a green revolution. 

The energy density of supercapacitors – battery-like devices that can charge in seconds or a few minutes – can be improved by increasing the ‘messiness’ of their internal structure.

Twelve academics from the ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ have been ranked among the top female scientists in the world - with one claiming the top spot for Europe.

Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding and overcoming the challenges associated with nickel-rich materials used in lithium-ion batteries.

Researchers have found that the irregular movement of lithium ions in next-generation battery materials could be reducing their capacity and hindering their performance.

Nyobolt, the pioneer of end-to-end fast-charging battery systems, announces £50 million funding which will enable the company to enter a stage of manufacturing at scale.  

Researchers from the ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ and Harvard University have developed a method to dramatically extend the lifetime of organic aqueous flow batteries, improving the commercial viability of a technology that has the potential to safely and cheaply store energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar.

Leaders in fields from chemistry to cancer research and computing are among the ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ academics recognised today.
