The breakthrough towards high-performance solid-state batteries

We have already talked on some occasion about solid-state batteries, in which the electrolyte consists of a solid material instead of liquid. They stand out because of their great energy storage potential but they still have stability problems that affect their longevity. Now a new design points to a possible solution, as they have developed a new electrode material that retains its volume during charging so the battery can withstand hundreds of cycles. The ability for an electric car to have a solid-state battery would reduce the need for charging and less connection time when necessary. But the movement of lithium ions in and out of the battery’s electrodes during charging causes them to expand and shrink, ultimately altering the device’s chemistry. An international team of s...

BBS develops a universal part to mount its models in any car

Changing the wheels is perhaps one of the first steps in tuning or customizing a car. Because the truth is that most stock models, including some sports cars, are pretty boring. The problem is getting these to match our car’s metrics: height, width, offset, bore, etc. which in most cases is solved with special centering or spacers to “match” the rim with the mass; a “cheap” solution, fast but not as effective. Thinking about it, and with the aim of fitting into a larger market, the wheel specialist, BBS (now owned by KW suspensions), have developed a universal locator that will allow their standard 5×115.5 drilled models to fit to the vast majority of cars on the market. The Unlimited mounting kit (that’s what it’s called) will mak...
