That's what a team of researchers aims to achieve with a new gravity-based system, details of which have been published in the journal Energy. We analyse the potential and the limitations of this technology.

Using sugar to create more efficient batteries
Lithium-sulphur batteries can store up to five times more energy than traditional lithium-ion batteries, but their lifespan is quite limited. Now a team of Australian researchers claim to have found a sweet solution to make them a truly longer-lasting, lighter and more sustainable alternative for all types of transport.
