For more than 70 years, scientists have been trying and failing to create sustainable fusion power—a process of smashing atoms together with such force that they fuse, releasing vast amounts of energy. 

In electric vehicles, electrical components called capacitors are used in various ways, but they all work alike: they absorb electricity fast and disperse it just as quickly. It’s an essential quality for things like acceleration.

Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology has spun off Sinonus, a startup to commercialize research that has evolved a rigid, lightweight carbon fabric that can function as a battery.
