Hyundai Stays Committed to Increasing Its Sales in the Electric Car Market. Recently, the Manufacturer Closed a Partnership with IonQ for the Production of Lithium Batteries Using Quantum Computers

Hyundai has partnered with IonQ, a company focused on quantum computing, with the aim of enhancing its lithium battery technology for its electric car models. In an announcement released on Wednesday (19), the two companies committed to searching for components that improve lithium batteries and their charging and discharging cycles, as well as capacity, durability, and safety. According to Peter Chapman, president and CEO of IonQ, the efficiency of the component is one of the most promising emerging areas where quantum computing can deliver positive results.

Quantum Computing May Bring Benefits Beyond Batteries for Electric Cars

In addition to lithium batteries for electric cars, IonQ’s CEO also claims that quantum computing will bring other benefits to Hyundai in other areas of the automotive sector, such as material durability and fuel cells.

According to the executive, quantum machine learning applications can be used to improve training time for autonomous vehicles and solve basic problems related to storage, predictive maintenance, and much more.

More challenging optimization problems, such as routing and multi-channel logistics, are on the R&D lists of manufacturers. The partnership with IonQ is part of Hyundai’s strategy, which aims to increase the sale of electric vehicles by 2025, as well as enhance management of climate change. The strategy has four focus areas: electric cars, autonomous driving technology, urban air mobility, and hydrogen fuel cells.

Brazilians Discover Way to Improve Lithium-Oxygen Batteries

Brazilian researchers are making progress in creating the catalysts necessary for optimizing lithium-oxygen batteries. Such components stand out for their ability to store more energy than conventional ones, but their cyclability, or the number of recharges the component allows, defining its lifespan, still needs to be improved.

According to Gustavo Doubek, a professor at Unicamp and CINE, the work contributes to the construction of a battery with better cycle efficiency, without the need for high-cost or noble materials.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

After nearly twenty years of halted and resumed construction, the Transnordestina has reached 79% completion and finally promises to connect the hinterland to two ports on the Northeast coast.

Madrid wants to build the world’s largest Ferris wheel at 260 meters and €300 million, surpass Dubai, transform Spain’s landscape, and create its own ‘Eiffel Tower’ in a project that still faces resistance and depends on approval.
