For those of us who grew up in the days when all we really needed to know about batteries consisted of AA, AAA, and D; understanding and taking advantage of the advances taking place in battery technology may not be happening as quickly as it could. If you fall under the category of those who [...]
Paris-based advanced battery manufacturer Saft has recently been awarded a multi-million dollar contract from NASA. The batteries from Saft will be used by Nasa to launch and operate rovers, landers, astronaut packs, and other space applications on the moon. In receiving the deal with NASA, Saft joins other technology giants such as
With a little over a week having passed since the Palm Pre was officially made available to the public, reviews on Palm’s answer to the iPhone aren’t very difficult to come by.
