Squeezing More Energy Out of Batteries
Technology Review
March 2, 2011
Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) has developed a new printing technology that promises to pack more energy into batteries for electric vehicles. By printing a striped pattern of energy storage materials and highly conductive materials, researchers at PARC are making electrodes that are much thicker than those in conventional batteries. These could increase battery storage capacity by 10 to 30 percent while costing little more to manufacture, says Scott Elrod, director of the Hardware Systems Laboratory at PARC. The technology could also apply to metal-air batteries that could store far more energy than anything on the market today.

McMaster University Ombuds Raise Profile With Online Drawing
In what may become an annual tradition, the Ombuds Office at McMaster University in Ontario is giving away a coveted item of personal electronics to a student who completes a simple online survey about the office. This year, the prize is an expensive pair of headphones that can retail for more than $300 (USD).
The current contest closes March 28 and was the inspiration of McMaster University Ombuds, Shelley Lancaster and Carolyn Brendon. Lancaster said that 300 students responded last year and they noticed an increase in cases coming to the office. (MSU Ombuds Contest.)
