Image: MIT Could Store Power at 100x More Energy/Weight Than Lithium-Ion A team of scientists at MIT has discovered a new way to generate power with carbon nanotubes. In a paper titled ” Chemically driven carbon-nanotube-guided thermopower waves ” published in Nature Materials , they describe how they made “thermopower waves” flow through the

nanotubes, generating a significant amount of power relative to the size of the nanotubes. This opens up new areas of research in energy gener… Read the full story on TreeHugger
