A flow battery is a rechargeable battery in which electrolyte flows through one or more electrochemical cells from one or more tanks. With a simple flow battery it is straightforward to increase the energy storage capacity by increasing the quantity of electrolyte stored in the tanks. The electroch...
Some are also looking into flow batteries for electric vehicles. The technology is still immature, but the concept would borrow from traditional fuel powered cars where the fluid inside the battery would be replenished with a fresh electrolyte solution. This arrangement would remove the long time i...
Battery management system (BMS) is technology dedicated to the oversight of a battery pack, which is an assembly of battery cells, electrically organized in a row x column matrix configuration to enable delivery of targeted range of voltage and current for a duration of time against expected load...
A typical example is the electricity provided by dry cells and the lithium-ion batteries used in cars. With a direct current, the voltage is always positive (or always negative), and the current always flows in the same direction. As a result, a device may not operate if its battery is...
ten times longer battery life for low-power massive-machine communications five times reduced end-to-end latency Here’s how it works: like all cellular networks, the service area of 5G networks is divided into geographic sub-areas called cells. Each cell has local antennae, through which all...
A semiconductor is a material that falls somewhere on the continuum between conductor and insulator, enabling a controlled flow of electrical current. Manufacturers process semiconductor materials such as silicon and other materials into chips for electronic devices....

So, what exactly are smart battery cells? Read on to find out more about the exciting new technology and what it means for the energy sector. Smart batteries: 101 Communication is what sets smart cells apart from regular batteries. Before we dive in, let’s take...
Some circuits won’t operate properly if the battery is connected backwards. But with a household electrical outlet, electricity will flow even if you reverse the left and right prongs of the plug. Since electricity in an AC current flows in both directions, the magnitude of the electricity ...
the parallel polarizer alignment on IPS displays is one reason they can be viewed from extreme angles compared to their TN counterparts. Meanwhile, the way TN displays let light through by default (without applying voltage to disrupt the flow) is one reason TN displays have faster response times...
