CATL is chasing lithium-air batteries with a theoretical energy density of 12,000 Wh/kg, roughly that of petrol, a leap that could obliterate the range gap between EVs and combustion cars.
An ETH Zurich team has built millions of stem-cell-infused injectable nanorobots that helped paralysed mice regain movement within weeks, hinting at a faster future route to repairing spinal injuries.
