Like the charged power suit worn by Black Panther of Marvel Comics, UCF researchers have advanced NASA technologies to develop a power suit for an electric car that is as strong as steel, lighter than aluminum and helps boosts the vehicle/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u2019s power capacity./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/n
The suit is made of layered carbon composite material that works as an energy-storing supercapacitor-battery hybrid device due to its unique design at the nanoscale level./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/n
The development appeared recently as the cover story in the journal Small and could have applications in a range of technologies that require lightweight sources of power, from electric vehicles to spacecraft, airplanes, drones, portable devices and wearable tech./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/n /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u201cOur idea is to use the body shells to store energy to supplement the power stored in batteries,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u201d says study co-author Jayan Thomas, the team leader and a professor in UCF/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u2019s NanoScience Technology Center and Department of Materials Science and Engineering./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/n /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u201cThe advantage is that this composite can reduce the weight of your car and increase the miles per charge,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u201d he says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u201cIt is as strong as or even stronger than steel but much lighter./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/126622/n
