Hello, This is your Science Feed.
As we know Lithium is used in most of our electrical equipment, mostly in our smartphones. But, these batteries have their own limitations which are annoying. The biggest reason is that Lithium-ion batteries explode vigorously. Another reason to replace Lithium-ion batteries is their short life and low charge-storing capacity.
Today, We will check out those batteries which are better than our Lithium-ion batteries.
Here we go;


Sodium-Ion Batteries 
            Sodium-ion batteries 'set to challenge' dominant lithium-ion ...
These batteries are quite similar to Lithium-ion batteries because sodium ions are used instead of lithium ions as the charge carrier. The development of both types of batteries started side-by-side but lithium-ion batteries over took sodium one. There are lots of advantages of using sodium-ion batteries over lithium-ion batteries. First of all, Sodium is the sixth most abundant element on Earth. So, no problem with its availability. In terms of safety, sodium-ion batteries are better than lithium-ion batteries. Also, transportation is easy and it can withstand better temperatures.

 Graphene Batteries

 G-MAX - Original (USB-C) | World's Fastest Power Bank, less than ...
       
One of the best technology developing in the field of carbon tech is graphene-based batteries. These batteries have started revolutionizing the world with its 5X charging and its charge storing capacity. Graphene batteries have characteristics of both battery and supercapacitor. A company named "Real Graphene" has already started manufacturing and selling as power banks. In 2017, Samsung said that they are developing a new kind of battery that uses graphene ball material. Overall, graphene is an extraordinary material with numerous applications.


3D Li-ion Batteries
Home - Prieto Battery
3D Solid-State Li-ion Batteries are being developed by the company "Prieto Battery". This company was founded by Amy Prieto, Colorado State Professor. The company says that is batteries have 5X high power density, 3X increase in volumetric energy density, inflammable and customizable cell voltage and capacity. These features of Prieto Batteries make it an excellent battery of various uses.

So, These are some batteries suggested by Science Feed which may become our future.

How does a NPU, Neural Processing Unit, works? - Science Feed

By
A NPU (Neural Processing Unit), also knows as AI accelerator, is a computing unit specially designed for the running artificial intelligence and machine learning models efficiently and effectively on a single motherboard with other computing units.  There has been significant rise in the use of NPUs in personal devices like smartphones, laptops, PCs etc. to do personalized recommendations and offline AI processing.  NPUs are capable of parallel processing, low precision arithmetic, hardware acceleration.  These have silicon architecture to kind of simulate the human brain working like human where instruction set of AI efficiently ran. NPUs are not for computing traditional problems as it lacks important physical capabilities. Because of these, AI systems are able to learn faster without wasting time and energy. The parallel computation feature give wings to matrix operations ease, activation functions of neural networks, dot product.  NPUs have got dedicated compute...

What is Dark Energy? - Science Feed

By
There are different forms of energy. But, there has been speculation of an hidden form of energy that has been kind of hiding from us which constitutes a large part of our universe.  The universe has been found to be expanding faster than the speed of light. The traditional form of energy that we have found has been to be not able to provide that much of push. So, there must be something. This type of energy is called Dark Energy.  Dark Energy is that form of energy that is not understood by us but it is fundamental in nature and drives the process of the universe. In Theory of General Relativity, there is concept of cosmological constant which says there is a negative of gravitation or empty space that is all over the interstellar space.  The researchers of DES and others have found that the universe is expanding not alone of known form of energy but some mysterious form of it. This is also related to Big Bang. Dark energy is told to be constituent of 68 to 70% of total ...

How are LIDARs changing field of Robotics - Science Feed

By
In the field of robotics, there is crucial role of sensors out of which the LIDARs (Light Detection and Ranging Sensors) are very important.  LIDAR sensors send the light and detects back the reflected light from any object to estimate how much far away the object is based on the calculations. Laser is used as primary light source as it can bounce back on most surfaces. These are used to make maps of the area where the robot will move around for navigation.  There are different kinds of LIDAR sensors like 1D LIDARs, 2D LIDARs, 3D LIDARs and even 4D LIDARs.  1D LIDARs are most basic type of it because these emit laser in one direction at a time and a point for point cloud is created. A point cloud is a group of large number of points that create map of the area. 1D LIDAR then moves in other direction and make different point after that.  2D LIDARs are the better version of 1D LIDARs as if you are rotating the 1D LIDAR in continuous rotation to project it in a circula...
