The idea is that in a large-scale application such as an airliner, multiple sodium-air fuel cells could be stacked together. Providing an energy density of about 1,000 watts per kilogram, such a ...

A new sodium-air fuel cell could be a more practical and sustainable power source (Joule 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2025.101962). The fuel cell has an energy density of over 1,000 W h/kg, roughly ...

A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day help clean up sectors where it’s difficult to replace fossil fuels, like rail, regional aviation, and short-distance shipping.

Japanese hardware brand Elecom has just launched what it claims is the world's first power bank to feature a sodium-ion battery inside. It promises significantly longer cycle life than traditional ...

Sodium-ion battery technology is new compared to lithium-ion tech, and production capacities haven’t reached the level of lithium-ion batteries. So while a little deal-hunting can get you a ...

The main focus of a low-sodium diet is keeping your daily sodium intake below 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. Some plans suggest an even lower daily limit of 1,500 mg. [1] ...

Unlike traditional nuclear reactors, the PFBR utilizes fast neutrons for energy generation and employs liquid sodium as a coolant instead of water. Innovative design to enhance overall efficiency ...

The US Department of Energy has released the draft Environmental Impact Statement for construction of the Versatile Test Reactor, a sodium-cooled reactor that will provide a source of fast neutrons ...

Sodium palmate comes from palm oil, which is a natural and renewable resource. When sourced responsibly, it’s considered eco-friendly because it requires fewer chemicals like pesticides.

Many stable isotopes have magic numbers of protons and neutrons. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Examples of magic numbers and stable nuclei exist everywhere – but scientists couldn’t ...
