EV car charging

Charge your laptop in a minute or your EV in 10? Supercapacitors can help; new research offers clues

May 24, 2024

Published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, researchers in Ankur Gupta’s lab discovered how ions move within a complex network of minuscule pores. The breakthrough could lead to the development of more efficient energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors, enabling fast charging of EVs and electronic devices.

CU Boulder professor secures $800,000 NASA Grant Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites. Ghobadi-Far has earned an $800,000 grant from NASA to analyze data from the GRACE-FO satellites, which measure variations in Earth’s gravitational field. Although gravity may appear constant to humans, it actually fluctuates across Earth’s surface in ways that can be valuable to climate science.
