Scientists build first quantum battery that uses lasers to charge in femtoseconds

The prototype charges in femtoseconds, stores energy for nanoseconds, and could enable ultra-fast charging for quantum computers and phones, CSIRO researchers said.

Summary by Tech Spot
The achievement marks the first time scientists have built a device that can be charged, store energy, and release it again using the laws of quantum mechanics. The team, led by CSIRO physicist James Quach, calls the system a "proof of concept," transforming a theoretical model into a functioning nanoscopic...Read Entire Article

The vision of batteries, which are fully charged in seconds, is one step closer. Scientists in Australia were not only able to charge such a battery for the first time, but also to discharge it again.

The first quantum battery in the world, which had been in production since 2018, has just been shown publicly. This scientific milestone was made by researchers from Melbourne University, RMIT University and CSIRO Australia’s national scientific agency. The key to this technological innovation is that the speed of this battery increases as its size grows. According to Infobae, this opens up “new prospects for storage and energy management.” What…

It is modern haunting par excellence: to see the percentage of its battery melt at the moment when it is most needed. For decades, our technology has been encountering an unchanging physical wall: the larger a battery, the longer it takes to fill it with energy. An electric car requires a [...]

Researchers present the world's first prototype of a quantum battery. The Proof of Concept shows fast charging and unloading thanks to quantum effects. The post World's first prototype of a quantum battery developed first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
