Going electric: some of the challenges and opportunities of 21st century batteries
A future driven by electric vehicles (EVs) was once the stuff of dreams. Now it’s a reality made possible by technology, talent, and careful testing. Always battery curious, we look at this seismic shift away from the combustion engine with the help of Nigel Taylor. He’s been applying his ...
E-Scooters, E-Bikes and Samsung Galaxy, what’s the link?
Several fires linked to E-scooters and e-bikes have recently been featured in the news, and a few years ago, several fires were started on commercial flights related to Samsung Galaxy phones. There is one common denominator between these events, and that is lithium-ion batteries. So, why are lithium-ion batteries prone ...
Taking stock on International Women in Science Day
History has shown that working roles for women can develop and diversify. But how is the science sector, so often regarded as a male-heavy environment, shaping up? What changes have women experienced and what’s it like entering the industry today? International Women in Science Day seems the perfect time ...
The Fundamentals of Calorimetry
Calorimetry is the process of measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. Reaction calorimetry is a potent and helpful tool to evaluate chemical processes and obtain information about non-scalable conditions and potential risks. These risks include increased temperature, pressure, and decomposition of chemical reactions. ...
Exploring high-pressure catalysis in action
At H.E.L, there's nothing we don't know about the capabilities of the scientific instruments and software we develop and manufacture. Plus, we can share loads about how they optimize bench-level efficiency, safety, and productivity. But like you, we know it's the difference our innovations are making to the quality of ...
Why is temperature so important to achieve optimum battery performance?
Battery-powered devices are everywhere within society, and this is only set to increase, especially as the electric vehicle market grows. This results in the demand for higher-powered, longer-lasting, better-performing batteries. With this comes the need for tightened safety regulations to ensure the safety of these ever-improving batteries is not ...
Better than the real thing? Lab-based photosynthesis hints at new fuel revolution
Ours is a world that fails to have positive relationships with plastic production and managing CO2 emissions. Plastic products are varied and societally important, yet it’s a relationship that comes with heavy environmental costs. Understandably, there is huge commercial interest in harvesting alternative resources and it looks like the ...
