    Stanford Develops Lithium-Sulfur Battery With High Specific Energy
    Researchers at Stanford University have developed an electrode that can be used to make more longer-lasting lithium-sulfur batteries. In 2007, the same team led by materials science professor Yi Cui, developed silicon nanowire anode that could hold 10 times as much charge as conventional lithium-ion batteries. By combining the new cathode with the previously developed...
