We love a good concept tire here at New Atlas. Incremental improvements aside, the wheel-to-road interface has been more or less stagnant since Goodyear rolled out the first commercial tubeless tire some 66 years ago. Now, the same company has propos
Hybrid "power capacitors" that can store as much energy as lithium batteries, but with much higher charge/discharge rates, a huge range of safe operating temperatures, super-long lifespans and no risk of explosion are already in production, says a sm
A brilliant 34-year-old engineer has built her own mobile phone with a rotary dial--and she did it because she despises texting and over-complicated smartphones.
If it seems like there's a new battery technology in the news every week or so lately, that's because a ton of research money that's been spent over the past five or ten years is starting to bear fruit.
The undeniable truth Tested, Documented, Replicated, Scrutinized and Notarized by 40 Scientists at NASA, Yale, ASU, MIT and Organizations all over the world EXCEPT the US Patent Office? WOW! No Conspiracy here everybody, nothing to see here, everybod

Batteries made with a lithium-sulfur chemistry rather than the typical lithium-ion hold a great deal of potential, and have for quite some time. Though they offer up to five times more energy per weight, one major roadblock has been a far shorter lif
Prior to its acquisition by China's Ninebot, Segway was mostly known for its self-balancing people mover that never quite captured the personal transportation market share the company hoped it would.
