A great milestone towards developing a next-gen, all solid state lithium-ion battery has been attained using a ceramic electrolyte made of garnet. The development of the new lithium battery has been inspired by Venkataraman Thangadurai, a renowned professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of Calgary, in conjunction with colleagues from the University of Maryland, College Park in the USA.

NASA recently put a stamp of approval on the carbon fiber-based, solar electric powered small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS). Silent Falcon first came into the limelight back in 2012 and it seems it has really come a long way ever since.
