New supercapacitors could be assembled from Martian materials
NASA
When forced into small cracks, water can be used in unexpected ways. New battery-like devices that rely on tiny amounts of water trapped within layers of clay could eventually provide sustainable power in extreme places like Mars.
Vasily Artemov and his colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are building supercapacitors, a type of battery-like energy storage device, with components similar to traditional batteries: two electrodes, one negatively charged and the other positively charged. (including). But instead of making these electrodes…
