SwitchBot Bot Gets a Rechargeable Battery and USB-C Charging

SwitchBot has a rechargeable version of its Bot button-pressing robot, identical in function to the original but powered by a 370mAh USB-C rechargeable battery instead of a disposable CR2; it’s available now for $33.99 (vs $29.99 for the original) from SwitchBot and Amazon. The device sticks to a button or rocker and presses it with a small extendable arm; the battery is accessible via a front panel and charges via USB-C. The rechargeable model offers eco benefits but shorter battery life—about six months with one daily press, versus up to 600 days for the original with two presses per day.

Revolutionary Dual-Use Rechargeable Battery Unveiled by Scientists

Scientists from Tsinghua University have developed a hybrid battery that not only stores and supplies electricity but also produces valuable chemicals like furfuryl alcohol and furoic acid. The dual-use system combines features of rechargeable and redox flow batteries, using specialized catalysts to transform biomass-derived furfural into useful chemicals while the battery charges or discharges. This breakthrough could improve the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of rechargeable batteries by simultaneously providing power and value-added chemicals.

Lithium-Ion Battery Pioneer John Goodenough Dies at 100

Dr. John B. Goodenough, the creator of the lithium-ion battery, passed away at the age of 100. Goodenough, along with Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino, was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 for their contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries. Despite the widespread use of the battery, Goodenough signed away most of his rights and cared little for money. UT Austin President Jay Hartzell praised Goodenough's legacy as a brilliant scientist who improved the lives of billions of people around the world.
