Li-Ion battery research concentrates mainly on increasing energy density, but TyFast goes in the opposite direction. The company compromises battery capacity to offer insanely fast charging and a long ...

Hawaii has a problem, one that the whole world is likely to face in the next 10 years. And the solution could be a metal that you've probably never heard of - vanadium. Hawaii's problem is too much ...

A new use for the metal vanadium — better known for its steel-making qualities — is emerging as energy savvy consumers continue to look for better ways of storing solar power. Lucy and Ian Stuart ...

Vanadium is a largely obscure metal often used in making steel. It retains its hardness at high temperatures, so it’s ideal for making drill bits, engine turbines and other parts that generate heat.

In 2025, the vanadium market is navigating a complex landscape shaped by its traditional role in steelmaking and its emerging importance in energy storage technologies. Approximately 90 percent of ...

Just as Cinderella turned from a poor teenager into a magnificent princess with the aid of a little magic, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have transformed a ...

An Invinity Energy Systems vanadium flow battery being tested at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (2019). Earlier this year, the California Energy Commission (CEC) published a $20 million ...

As vanadium prices increase, uranium miners in the USA and elsewhere are looking to capitalise on the vanadium that is co-present with uranium in certain deposits to add value to their operations.

SYDNEY—A 2008 earthquake that devastated a mountainous part of China is prompting a scramble for a little-known metal in a once-thriving uranium-mining belt in the U.S. West and elsewhere in the world ...

A research team has succeeded in inducing ferromagnetism, a key property of conventional magnets, in pure vanadium oxide, a compound not previously recognized for such magnetic behavior. Through a ...

Vanadium "redox flow" batteries are indeed stable. They can be discharged and recharged 20,000 times without much loss of performance, and are thought to last decades (they have not been around long ...
