Australia’s CSIRO Builds Tiny Quantum Battery That Charges Faster When Bigger

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk April 9, 2026 5:25 pm

Australia’s CSIRO has built the world’s first quantum battery that completes a full energy cycle. Led by Dr. James Quach, the device charges faster when more cells are added — opposite to normal batteries. It uses a laser and quantum effects to charge in femtoseconds. Current storage is just 1/200,000th of a mosquito’s energy, lasting nanoseconds. Works at room temperature.

MIT Engineers Create Soft Gel That Boosts Conductivity 400-Fold with Light

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk April 7, 2026 6:14 pm

MIT engineers have created a soft, flexible gel that becomes 400 times more conductive when exposed to light. By incorporating a photo-ion generator into rubber, the material can switch from an insulator to a conductor. This breakthrough could bridge the gap between soft biological tissues and hard electronics for use in wearables and robotics.
