THE CURRENCY OF PAYMENTS

The greatest currency is trust. We do not always trust in the people we are dealing with, but we trust the company they work for or the friend who recommended them. Cryptocurrency provides a way of doing things without having to trust other people or a proxy. It allows people to move away from the need to trust in human networks. They only need to trust the technology.

SMALLER, CHEAPER FLOW BATTERIES THROW OUT DECADES-OLD DESIGNS

Flow batteries are a promising technology for making solar and wind power a regular part of the grid. They could theoretically be scaled up to megawatt-hours by increasing their tank size. Flow batteries have longer lifetimes and are safer than lithium-ion batteries. However, their capital cost is more than twice that of lithium-ion batteries, making them expensive. Researchers have managed to reduce the size of a flow battery cell by 75 percent by replacing flat electrodes and membranes with wire electrodes and tubular membranes. The new design could decrease the cost of flow-battery power modules by around half.
