Better Batteries

AMD’s new Ryzen 7040 series of processors are intended for ultrathin notebooks.

Fliderman said that one advantage of longer battery life is the ability to build more powerful laptops.

Advanced microchip and display technologies require ever more power, he pointed out.

The goal is to have laptops' performance exceed what’s available in desktops."

Other companies are also trying to make laptops run longer with new battery technologies.

Enovixrecently showedoff its new batteries, designed to deliver high energy density without compromising safety.

The company says the batteries used laser-generated 3D architecture that provides more efficient use of the battery volume.

The new batteries use silicon to store lithium ions instead of the more commonly used graphite anode.

The development of practical high-performance solid-state batteries can also lead to the development of advanced electric vehicles.

Another new technology that shows promise is solid-state batteries (SSBs).

But SSBs have suffered from a durability problem.
