Tesla is most commonly known for its novel innovations in automobile technology, research into battery technology, and even the company’s dedication to open source knowledge. Now, the company is shifting gears to create a product for all the tiny Elon Musk fans out there. Tesla, in collaboration with Radio Flyer, has recently produced line of electric vehicles for kids. True to Tesla vehicles, the kid car is essentially a scale model of Tesla’s popular electric sedan.

(And other lithium-ion battery devices) An article by K.M. Abraham (@lithiumabraham) of Northeastern University and E-KEM Sciences. UPDATE (12/16/2016): We checked back in with Dr. Abraham to see if anything has changed since the publication of this article. According to Abraham, hoverboard manufacturers have improved the safety of the devices since wide-spread instances of explosion in 2015. This has been brought about by a certification program by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL). The UL, which is a safety consulting and certification...

196th ECS Meeting | Honolulu, HI | Oct. 18, 1999 Recent Progress in Photoelectrochemistry The technical program officially began with a plenary lecture by Professor Kenichi Honda of the Tokyo Institute of Polytechnics. Professor Honda can truly be regarded as one of the pioneers of modern photoelectrochemistry. He is perhaps best known, outside of this specialized community, for his landmark study of the solar-assisted electrolysis of water with irradiated titanium dioxide photoanodes. This work was carried out when Honda was…
