There's little doubt that the future of transportation is moving towards electric alternatives that offer more efficiency and pollute less.

However, constant updates in the field have begun to cause practical issues in establishing the infrastructure that can handle the whole spectrum of batteries that are now accessible, much alone any future advances. 

In an attempt to solve the issue, researchers in India developed a unique battery charger that can accommodate both current and next EV battery pack generations over a wide range of voltages: anywhere between 120 and 900 volts.

Due to their light weight and faster charging periods, these next-generation batteries will enable EVs to reach full charge faster and go further.

The James Webb Space Telescope has released new detailed images of the iconic Ring Nebula in never-before-seen detail. The Ring Nebula was discovered in 1779 by astronomers Antoine Darquier de Pellepoix and Charles Messier. It is one of the most prominent and luminous objects in our night skies, approximately 2,500 light-years from Earth.

Despite international and domestic objections, Japan will release the treated radioactive wastewater from TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean on August 25. In an essential part of the decommissioning process of the damaged plant, 1 million metric tonnes of water has been filtered and is safe to be released into the ocean. The plan has been the center of controversy because the treated water contains tritium.
