Boffins invent EV ‘power shell’ for increased range and performance

The idea of a multifunctional power suit may be common in superheroes like Iron Man, but what if an actual version of it existed? A team of researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and NASA have designed a special power suit that’s giving “superpowers” not to us — but to our EVs. Made of layered carbon composite material and nanoscale graphene sheets, the suit works as a supercapacitor-battery hybrid device, able to store and provide energy. It’s en
