Researchers at Stanford have developed a new method of using silicon nanowires in lithium-ion batteries. These new batteries produce 10 times the charge of existing Li-ion batteries. The silicon in typical batteries tends to pulverize during the expand and shrink process of charging and discharging. Nanowires avoid the fracturing problem due to their [...]

A new study by ABI Research forecasts the integration of GPS into every mobile device within five years. The report attributes this shift to the low cost of GPS chip sets, GPS modernization, and also the new Global Navigation Satellite Systems or GNSS. It also predicts that roughly 900 million GPS units be in use [...]
