Solid-State Batteries Are Here, and They Could Change EVs Forever

The world of electric vehicles (EVs) might be on the brink of a dramatic shift thanks to a recent discovery from Nyobolt, a promising British startup focused on batteries. This innovation could make the inconvenience of extensive battery-charging durations a thing of the past, bringing electric vehicle convenience closer to that of traditional gas-powered cars.

The last time the aurora borealis graced the skies of the US was back in May, when nearly half the country could see the scenic northern lights, with some areas enjoying the view for almost a week straight.
