Chemistries, density, costs, gigafactories: storing energy better, cheaper and faster.
Batteries have become an industry in their own right, and this section treats them as one: chemistries (lithium iron phosphate, sodium-ion, solid electrolytes), rising densities, costs per kilowatt-hour in free fall, gigafactories rising from the ground from China to Hungary. We also track second-life uses and cell recycling — the loop that will turn a raw-materials problem into a resource.
Our angle: measurement over promise. A lab announcement only enters these pages with numbers attached — cycles, density, cost — and each article says how far it stands from production. Asian players, who account for most of the market and of the innovation, get the coverage the general press almost never gives them: CATL, BYD, EVE, but also the equipment makers and chemists nobody ever names.

ChangXin Memory Technologies has begun mass production of LPDDR6 memory. The Xiaomi 18 Fold is scheduled to debut in September as the first device globally to feature it, while the Xuanjie O3 chip will be the first mobile chip to support the memory, creating a new supply-chain partnership among Chinese mobile memory, the Xuanjie O3 chip and Xiaomi’s foldable phone.
Xiaomi says the phone can last up to three days and play video continuously for 37 hours.
